October: Full Hunter’s Moon

Why is it called the Hunter Moon? After the leaves fall, it is deer hunting time. And unfortunately for Bambi and friends, that’s where this moon gets its name.

You will love this imaginative story of the moon!

Once upon a time, the Sun and Moon were great friends. There was no night because they were always together. Children played the whole day, without feeling sleepy.No one in the world knew anything about beds or sleeping. One day, as they flew together, they saw the Ocean.

She was the most beautiful thing that they had ever seen. The Ocean enjoyed the Sun’s warmth, and Moon’s decorated face.

She loved the Moon more than the Sun. Whenever her eyes gazed upon the Moon, she created waves and tides in excitement.

This made the Sun very jealous. One afternoon, as the Ocean slept, the Sun did something terrible.

He slowly lifted the Moon, and threw him against the sky wall! Instead of breaking like glass, the Moon created millions of sparks that couldn’t go out.

He called the sparks “stars.”The Stars knew what the Sun had done to the Moon. Angry at the Sun, they formed an army and attacked him! Before they could shoot the Sun, the Ocean stopped them with a question.

“Where are you going little stars?” she asked the Stars.

“We have gone to destroy the Sun!” they replied.

The Ocean did not want the Sun or Moon to be hurt or destroyed in a fight.

She loved both of them. This made her think of a plan fast.

“I have an idea!” she told the Stars. The Ocean called both the Moon and Sun.

She told them to share their time with her. The Sun would visit her during the day, and the Moon at night. Both of them were very happy with the idea!

This made the Ocean happy too!

The Stars followed the Moon daily to protect him from the Sun.

From that day onwards, people saw the Sun in the day and the Moon at night.

A beautiful bird story by Duncan Klein will leave you amazed!
