The changing moon

The changing moon

Moko wonders why it is that the moon changes shape so often. Seeing that it rises sometime like the sun in the distance, he decides to get closer to see if he can get some answers. Better yet, he could even ask the moon directly. During his long walk, he sees the moon change shape over and over. Sometimes a sliver, like a smile, sometimes a circle of white light, sometimes yellow. He sees the moon travel across the sky without ever looking like it is moving. No matter how far he walks, he realizes that he is getting no closer to the moon. He decides that this whole dance is a performance and that the moon just likes to be watched.

The changing moon
One night, Moko had decided to observe the moon. It had risen on the horizon, and hung mid-sky like a balloon of light, slowly drifting behind the mountains in the distance. "How strange," thought Moko, "the moon is usually crescent-shaped." But on this night, the moon was so big, that Moko had the feeling it coul almost touch the Earth. Moko wanted to know more about the Moon. He started walking towards the mountains. "Maybe I can even reach up and touch it," he said to himself.
But the more he walked towards the horizon, the higher the moon seemed to rise in the sky. Moko stopped walking. He told himself that the moon was probably shy, and didn't want anyone getting too close to it. He decided to observe it secretly from behind a bush.
But, tired out from his walk, Moko fell asleep. And the moon continued making its way across the starry sky.
