Story: The Moon

The moon shines brightly in the night sky.

When the sun goes down and the sky turns dark, the moon lights up the world. It is round, big, and glowing.

Sometimes, the moon is a perfect circle. Other times, it is a little curved, like a smile. This is because the moon changes its shape throughout the month.

The moon has a soft, silver color that makes the night look beautiful and calm.

I love to look at the moon when I go outside at night. It feels peaceful to watch it high up in the sky, shining above the trees and houses.

The moon is not just pretty—it also helps light our way at night. Many animals, like owls and foxes, come out to play when the moon is bright.

On some nights, I see the moon with tiny, twinkling stars around it. It looks like the moon is a big king surrounded by little lights in the sky.

Sometimes, clouds move across the sky and cover the moon for a moment. But then, the moon comes back, bright and clear.

The moon has been here for many, many years. People have looked at it and wondered about it. The moon is a special part of our sky.

Watching the moon makes me feel happy and calm. It’s amazing to think that everyone around the world can see the same moon in the night sky.
