Copywriter 1997, By Odell Sneeden Hathaway, III Most fairy tales start once upon a time. But before I can say that I need to explain something to you, something about merry go rounds? Something about them that everyone here should know. When you are riding a merry go round and you want to look at someone not on the merry go round you must turn your head or they will flash by before you see them. Like when you want to look at your mom or dad, you have to turn and look at them. If you look straight ahead and don't move your head you can only see them for a second and then they are gone. All you get to see is the back of your dumb sister. If you know this you are smarter then the moon and now I can tell you my story. Once upon a time there lived the moon, the earth, the sun and a merry go round. The moon and the earth lived on the merry go round. They spun around and around and while the merry go round went around, they turn so they could see the whole sky once a day, the sun, the stars and each other. They did not know that they lived on a merry go round, all the moon knew was that each day the sun came up and went down and the moon loved the sun. It loved to be in the light and to be warm and it wanted to be in the light all way's! So one day the stupid little moon decided when the sun and the earth are straight up it would stop turning around so the sun would never go down. The moon did this. It did not know that it was on a merry go round and the next day when the moon woke up the sun was not straight up it had moved but right there were it was the night before was the earth, which was on the merry go round to. Each day for a week the sun got lower in the sky until one day the moon
woke up and it was night and the only light it had was the earth shining down
on it. The night lasted for 2 weeks and the moon got very sad and very very
cold. All the moon could see was the stars and the earth turning around in
the suns glow. But the stupid little moon just stood still and then finally
the sun came up and it was day for 2 weeks and the moon got hotter and hotter
and it burned and the light hurt it's eye's. Then of course came the 2 weeks
of night and this goes on to this day. When you cannot see the moons face it
is crying because it can not see it's love. But it will not start turning
because it knows it is right. Just like most people! |
