The Old Woman on the Moon

Mona was a young girl who lived in a small town with her family, one night she looked to the sky and saw the moon full walking slowly to the sky with the light of the moon shining on the roof of her house, it was very beautiful for the eye, and she started to thank God for all the blessings that He created around her.

The moon was far from her for the eye, and she looked to the moon again and felt that there is a person sitting on the moon, sitting under a tree on the moon, and there were people saying that there is an old woman living on the moon, so Mona thought that this woman is patient and can be alone, and she felt with anxiety for the regret of thinking in this patient woman.

Then the moon’s mane jumped in front of her in her arm, and the fire started to talk to her and tell her that the old woman on the moon heard her news, and she thought that she would go to her in her visits, and she said to her, “Do not think about that? You will come back after putting some time.”

And Mona was alone and her father in a visit far from the house, and there was no one with her except an old woman with the house, and she surprised Mona with the offer and said to the fire, “How can I climb to the moon?” The fire said, “I will carry you there all that is with you to do is to be patient and then we will climb to the moon, and with the first jump the smell of the moon will come to you with speed for the fire and she started to fly with him to the moon.

The fire passed the trees and the fruits and was Mona learning the geography very well, the fire rose until Mona reached the space and the other animals, and she was very afraid so she asked from the fire to walk more, but the sky was cloudy and therefore the moon also was shining more and more to the point that Mona was not seeing in front of her from the strength of the light, and she tried to see in front of her but she saw a long and high walls, and she thought that there are no people on the surface of the moon because there is no air to breathe.

And she started to think how she and the old woman on the moon can be alone so that this old woman has a magic power, and Mona went to one of the birds, but the fire was lowering carefully so that he enters to a small room of the wood of the moon, all of the trees that she learned were small for her compared to everything.

The old woman was kind to the eye was completely white, and it was very long until she touched the ground, the old woman looked at Mona and called her to come to the room, and she said to her that she or a human who enters to the room, and she asked her, “Do all the people resemble you?” and she continued her story that she saw the ground between millions and millions of years and she wanted to give her everything about the earth.

Mona asked, “How do you live without water and people here?” The old woman answered, “O my daughter do not remember the wood of the moon so that you will come to any thing, you will live to the end and not do anything.”

Mona was a girl smart and kind and felt with sadness on the old woman, she used to sit every day with the old woman and tell her the details about her life on the earth and to her of all the trees and the fruits and the animals and the birds and the moon.

The old woman was kind to the eye she was white completely, and for a long time until she learned the ground she looked to Mona and said to her that she or a human who enters to the room, and she asked her if all the people are like her, and she did her story that she saw the earth between millions and millions of years and wanted to give her everything about the earth.

In the morning the next day Mona went to look at the moon from around her, she found the beautiful walls, when she was wandering she saw a round wall of strange, and she started to get confused in her head, she was on her horse in her arm and she found that the old woman with the house is her imagination, and he asked from her to come to bring the food, she got off her horse with speed and went to the place to look at the moon.

She wanted to see the old woman on the moon, but she did not see anything except the horizon, so Mona thought that she was dreaming when she was learning, in a time she remembered Mona in a mystery around a book of the writing in her school, so she read that she would write around her learning she forgot, so she went away with the focus and the trouble of the old, and from that day she started to write the details for the children, and which contains on the stories and also on a lot of the problems.
