can any one of you help me locate a story by ray bradbury??i read the story some ten years ago in my native language so i don't know the real title of the story...it was about a little boy who's father was an astronaut who was always on duty...the father dies in an accident while flying towards the sun...the last line of the story left a lasting impression on my memory...it was something like "so we never looked at the sun again"...can some one please tell me the title of the story and in which book it can be found??

emon:
The last line reads:
"And, for a long while, the only days we ever went out to walk were the days when it was raining and there was no sun."

Now that's from Ray's giant book, 'The Stories of Ray Bradbury'. Perhaps it has been changed from the original. But the story title was' The Rocket Man', ultimately set to music by Elton John.

"The Rocket Man" appears in "R Is For Rocket" too.

hello I need help to understand the following sentence from the Pedestrian:

"The car hesitated, or rather gave a faint, whirring click, as if information, somewhere was dropping car by punch-slotted card under electric eyes."
I dont understand it from "..as if informatoin..." till the end. How can you say this in a different way ?:S
