The Moon Was at a Fiesta

“For hundreds of years, the sun and the moon stayed in their separate skies. It was the sun’s job to shine all day long while people went about their work. It was the moon’s job to watch over people’s dreams.

Both were happy with this arrangement until the night the moon overheard the stars gossip.

Some stars wished they could come out with the sun. ‘All the games and feasts,’ they said, ‘take place under the sun’s brilliant rays. And those are the times when people wear their most colorful clothes.’”
