The night the moon smiled at us

Page 1


In a summer night, a group of children sat around a bonfire to sing old songs and tell stories. A strange conversation started about


Moon, which in all its brightness appeared to be listening and smiling at them from high above among the stars.


Who was Moon smiling at? It was the big discussion among the children.



Dieguito said while sipping some soda “It is obvious that Moon is smiling at me. After all I was


the best goal scorer in the baby football championship�.


Maria started laughing and said: “How is that possible? Don´t you see that Moon is smiling at me? I was the best in the gymnastic


tournament and they even came to take photos to show on TV. Moon is smiling at me�.


Rafael who was humming a superhero theme song said: “If Moon is like the grown-ups then it only looks at smart people. Don´t you remember that


I was the one who competed against the big kids in a game of chess? It is crystal clear that Moon is smiling at me�.


Then shy, quiet and friendless “O” spoke: “Look at Moon. I don´t mind if you think that Moon doesn´t smile at me.


I also see it smile and its smile is big enough for all of us�


The children looked up and saw that Moon was indeed smiling at all of them regardless of their talents and achievements.
