Granny Moon and Star Mia

 “Granny Moon and Star Mia”

“Little stars, are you ready?” Star Mia said to her star-friends.

“Yes, we are ready.” They answered all together. The night is coming and they must shine it through.

Wow! one, two, three… go, and all the little stars light up! The sky becomes a blanket of crystals that covers the Earth.

How brightly! But there is something wrong. Star Mia looks around carefully. It’s true! There is a lot of light but it‘s not the light they always see! It seems as something is missing! But what?

Star Mia wonders…What may it be? Yessss! I know! Granny Moon isn’t here! Her light is missing!

Star Mia runs to look for her. “ Maybe she has fallen asleep. Maybe she isn’t feeling well.”

“Granny Moonnnnn, Granny Moonnnn, where are you? No answer.

Star Mia is very worried and keeps on looking for her. She looks and looks, she is exhausted but suddenly: “ There she is, behind a cloud!”

“Thank goodness I have found you! Why are you hiding here? Why don’t you shine the Earth as usual?

“I am sorry, Star Mia” Granny Moon said. ” I am too tired and I have no more light to illuminate the Earth. Leave me here, go to the other stars and light up high in the sky.”

“But Granny Moon we need you!” said star Mia crying.

“Go” said Granny Moon” don’t cry, I am sure the sky will be shining brightly even without me.”

“No, it’s not right! We must help you Granny Moon! We can’t leave you alone in an isolated corner in the sky! You are the Granny of all the little stars!

There can’t be a sky without our Granny Moon!"

“My dear little stars, listen to me. Granny Moon isn’t feeling very well, she has lost her light and she is hiding behind a cloud.”

“We must help her. She is our beloved Granny! What can we do?”

“ I have got an idea! We can give her some of our light and I am sure she will shine brighter than before.”

“What a great idea!” but where shall we put our light?

“Let’s gather all the clouds and make a big basket” star Mia suggested.

So they prepare a big, big basket in a flash and fill it up with their own light. Then all together they blow the basket away until it reaches the place Granny Moon was hiding in.

“Granny Moon, where are you? We are your little stars. We have a present for you. Come and get it. “

“Go away my little stars. I am tired and with no light and I prefer staying alone in the darkness.“

“Granny come, we have got something for you…”

“Ok, ok” Granny Moon said, “ I am coming, let me see it. What did you bring me?

“Here you are”, and the little stars poured all the light of the basket on Granny Moon.

“But…what’s happening? Where does all this light come from? I can’t see anything!” said Granny Moon.

“Yeah! Granny Moon is as beautiful and bright as never before!” all the happy little stars shouted .

The little stars surround her in a happy and loving ring-around-the-rosy. Granny Moon is deeply touched and cries tears of joy.

Now she is ready to illuminate the Earth together with her little stars.
