Once upon a time, a bear was living in a jungle. He admired the moon shining up in the sky. One night, he was looking up at the sky and thought of giving a birthday present to the moon. But he did not know the Birthdate of the moon. He was not even sure what gift he would give to the moon. So, he decided to have a little chat with the moon. He decided to ask the moon what it would like to have for a present and so the bear went up into the mountains to get close to it. When the bear said “Hello” to the moon, his voice echoed back. The bear thought the response was coming from the moon. Because of the echo, everything the bear said was repeated back to him. The bear asked the moon, “What do you want for the birthday?” His voice echoed, and he thought that the moon was asking him what he wanted for the birthday. So, he replied that he wanted a hat. The same sentence was repeated because of the echo and the bear thought that the moon also wanted a hat for his gift. Now, bear knew what he wanted to gift the moon for his birthday. That night bear put the hat in a tree where the moon could find it. As the moon sneaked through the branches of the tree, it appeared that the moon was wearing the hat. The bear saw the moon wearing the hat and was pleased.The next morning, the hat fell out of the tree and to the bear’s doorstep. The bear believed that the moon had left it there as a present for him. The wind blew the hat away, the bear chased it, and when he could not find it, he decided to go to the mountain and talk with the moon. The bear told the moon, “I still love you” and the moon, of course, replied with the same.

Happy Birthday Moon 

Ravina Sewani

There was once a little grey planet that was very sad. The people living there hadn't looked after it, despite them having all the inventions and space ships you could ever need. They had contaminated the whole countryside so much with rubbish and pollution that there were no plants or animals left.One day, a little boy was walking on the planet, when he passed a cave and noticed a small red flower inside. The flower was very sick - almost dying - so the boy carefully dug up the flower, with roots, soil and everything. Then, he started looking for a place where he could look after it. He searched all over the planet, but everywhere was so contaminated that there was no place the flower could possibly live in. Then he looked up at the sky and noticed the moon. It seemed to the boy that maybe the plant could survive there.So the little boy put on his astronaut suit, and climbed into a space ship. He put the little red flower in the back, and off they went to the moon.Far away from all that pollution - and with the boy visiting it every day to tend it - the flower started to grow. The flower was so well cared for, that it had soon germinated, giving birth to others, and these other flowers spread onto other flowers. Before long, the whole moon was completely covered with flowers.That's why, whenever the little boy's flowers open up, for a few minutes the moon takes on a soft red sheen, like a warning light. Maybe it's telling us that if you don't look after your planet, a day will come when flowers will only be able to grow on the moon. Moral:Earth is the only planet we have. We keep earth happy, earth keeps us happy in turn. Save environment.

The Moon was a very lazy person. She lived her life very lethargically and it bothered a lot of people.Because she would not show up on time, the tides on the sea would act up, her admirers on the Earth would become sad. In general it would result in a lot of chaos.Her best friend, Sun, was very tired of Moon’s ways and decided to teach her a lesson.Sun knew that despite her irresponsible behaviour, she cared very deeply about the inhabitants of Earth. So to teach her a lesson, the sun decided to not show up in the sky every morning.Now, there would be elongated days on Earth, short nights or the opposite. Plants were wilting, animals were confused. Humans had no idea what to do.When Moon showed up, she noticed this and decided to urgently talk with Sun. “Sun! Why are you not following your daily routine? Life on Earth is suffering.”The Sun retorted, “Why are you not following your routine?”The Moon was embarrassed and she learned her lesson.Since then she followed a routine. Moral:When you break your routine, it affects not just you but the ones dependent on you. Thus it is important to have an efficient routine.

One day, stars went to the moon and asked him who shines brighter. The Moon proudly replied, “It’s me”. The stars started smiling and said, “No, we shine brighter”. The Moon did not agree with the stars. He believed he was the one who shined brighter. The stars decided to go to the children and asked them the question. The Moon and the stars went near a window and asked the children to tell who shined brightly. The children said, “Moon”. Suddenly, one big cloud came near the moon and children said, “No, Stars shine brightly”. When the cloud disappeared, they again said “Moon”. The stars and the Moon decided to ask someone else.They went to another window and saw an old man. They asked the old man, “Who shines brightly?” The old man said, “Oh, it’s very difficult for me to answer because I am too old, and I can’t see properly.” He said he cannot help them.Then, they went to another window and saw a mother singing a song for her baby so that he could sleep. They asked her the same question and the mother replied that her baby’s face is brighter than both.Then, they finally decided to ask Earth. The Moon was very happy, he felt that the Mother Earth will take his name. On asking the question to the Earth, he replied, “It is true that the moon shines brightly in the night and its light is very useful for fruits, vegetables, and green plants. But my son! Don’t be proud. Remember this light is not your own, you are getting it from the Sun. So, don’t feel proud of the things which are not yours “.The Earth continued, “The twinkling little stars are not so small. They are the buddies of the sun because the sun itself is also a star. Don’t be ignorant, if a few stars come together their heat and light will be unbearable for us. The twinkling of stars also provides beauty to the night. Don’t fight with each other.”Each one felt satisfied and thanked the Earth. Moral:Do not feel proud about things that do not belong to you. The very thought will destroy you. One should never underestimate anyone.

Every day, they use to discuss the same but never came to any decision.The argument carried out for ages and finally, the Sun declared that the Moon could not shine if the Sun’s light did not fall on it. He said to the Moon, “You do not have your light so, I am stronger than you.” To which Moon proudly replied, “You give light, but you burn the earth with your heat. People do not prefer coming out of their houses due to extreme heat. But when I shine at night, people enjoy the moonlight.”Sun could not digest the words spoken by the Moon. He got angry and picked some mud and threw it at the Moon’s face. The Moon tried to get out of the way but could not and the mud got stuck on his face.It is believed that due to the mud thrown, the Moon has dark spots on its face.

The sun and the moon 

The Sun and the Moon were best friends once upon a time. As they were always together there was no concept of the night. No one in the world knew anything about the night. They did not know anything about sleeping. The children played the whole day without feeling sleepy. One day, the Moon and the Sun were passing by and saw the ocean. The ocean was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen. The ocean enjoyed the Sun’s warmth and Moon’s beautiful face. She loved the moon more than the Sun. Whenever Moon was around, she created waves and tides in excitement. This made Sun very jealous.One afternoon, as the Ocean slept, the Sun did something terrible. He slowly lifted the Moon and threw him against the wall of the sky! Instead of breaking like glass, the Moon created millions of sparks that could not go out. He called the sparks “stars.”The Stars knew what the Sun had done to the Moon. The stars were very angry at the Sun and decided to attack the Sun. The stars formed an army and went on to attack the Sun. Before they could attack the Sun, the Ocean stopped them and asked, “Where are you going little stars?” The stars replied, “We are going to destroy the Sun!”The Ocean did not want either the Sun or Moon to be hurt or destroyed in a fight. She loved them both. So, she made a quick plan. She told the stars she had an idea. She called the Moon and the Sun. She told them to share their time with her. The Sun would visit her in the day, and the Moon at night. Both were very happy with the idea. This made the Ocean happy too. The Stars followed the Moon every day, to protect him from the Sun.From that day onwards, people saw the Sun in the day and the Moon at night. Moral:Fighting is not the solution to every problem.
