The man in the moon

The moon was the first life-form to ever exist he sat in the emptiness and darkness , just floating. Time didn’t matter to him. After all he was the only one there. One day, the loneliness and sadness took over him. And he cried. He cried until he had no tears left to shed. Around him, tears of every imaginable color formed, and the biggest one, the last tear, stretched his arms as he saw the sobbing moon. He felt bad and wanted to help the moon, but he didn’t know what to do. Do he wrapped his arms around him, encasing the moon in a warm hug.


“ W-why are you he-helping me?” the moon asked through hiccuped sobs. The boy thought for a second before saying, “ You helped me. You gave me life, and i don’t want you to cry. You’ll never be alone again.” the bot said as he planted a kiss on the moons head. The moon wiped his tears away and looked around. “ What’s all this?” He wondered in astonishment. The boy laughed.” You made this.” he said as the moons eyes fixated upon one little green and blue orb. “ Do you like this one?” the moon nodded and gazed upon the creatures that walked on it. He let out a yawn. “ You should sleep. “ No! I want to watch them!” the boy placed a comforting hand on the moons shoulder. I’ll keep an eye on them while you sleep and then you can do the same when you wake up!” the moon nodded.” Oh what’s your name?” he asked. The boy thought for a few seconds before answering.” I don’t know… but i like… sun.” the moon noticed the suns radiant smile, and blushed.” Alright.”



And that is why we have the man in the moon, and why the sun and moon take turns watching over us.
