The Moon: The Story Of The Moon

The Moon has not always sat in the sky watching over the Earth and all its inhabitants. No. In fact the Moon used to wander the earth just like any creature or human does now - as did the Sun. This is the story of what she did before she sat up in the sky. This is the story of the Moon and her only friend. The Sun was loved by all. His heart was warm and his smile was bright. His hands were strong hands that as they touched the earth could make bright green plants sprout from even the driest of the lands. The animals of the earth loved him and could often be found following in his footsteps. The horses, with their manes as smooth as river water and their feet as quick as lightning, loved to run around the Sun’s ankles. This always made …show more content…
