short story for both young and old:
Once upon a time there was a little fish.
The little fish lived in a Lake and high above the Lake was the Moon.
Every night the Moon shone brightly on the water which made the little fish very curious.
The
shining light on the surface of the water made the little fish hungry
and so up to the surface of the water he went in search of food, but
there was none to be found.
The little fish looked and looked for where the light was coming from and he saw high up into the sky a round bright light.
That
bright light in the sky is the Moon and the little Tiny Fish was so
curious about it that he flew out of the Lake up to see for himself what
this 'Moon' was all about.
Yes, the little Tiny Fish FLEW right out of the Lake and into the sky.
Up past the lilly pads and the frogs that rest upon them.
UP past the tree tops and the birds which nestle in their branches.
UP past the houses and up past the clouds!
The little Fish went higher and higher still until at last he met the moon and said "Hello."
The Moon said to the Tiny Fish "Hello and how do you do Tiny Fish!"
"Hi."
said the Tiny Fish, "My name is Tiny and I live in the Lake which you
shine your light upon way down below on the Earth. I wanted to come up
and visit you."
"Well,
actually ..." said the Moon who is old and wise, "The light you see
comes from the sun which lights up your home during the day. I just
reflect the rays of the sun."
"Oh"
said Tiny and he gave the Moon a kiss and said goodnight, because it
was way past his bedtime and flew back down to the Lake below.
Down
past the clouds and the tall buildings, down past the treetops and the
birds which rest in their branches, DOWN past the lilly pads and the
sleeping frogs and into the Lake where Tiny Fish sleeps.
"Good night Tiny!" said the Moon!
"Good night moon!" said Tiny.
Tomorrow is another day.
~THE END~
