The refrain

In the book: "Come on, Cecil, look over here. Can you guess which planet is near?"
In the companion: "Come on, Cecil, look over here. Can you guess which world is near?"

The companion says 'world' rather than 'planet' because the refrain leads into the Pluto scene, and Pluto is a dwarf planet.
