Moon
By: Luis De Hoyos and María José Arredondo
It was dark night with a fool moon and all you could hear were hundreds of wolves howling to the moon or rather the wolf goddess that is trapped there. One day one wolf got tired of howling for his goddess sake, and scheduled a meeting with all the wolves.
-My fellow brothers, it’s time for us to rescue our goddess. She has been trapped in the moon for far too long.
-But how, the moon is too far. Even if we climbed the tallest mountain we could not reach it.
-Very true. So we will just have to make the tallest mountain ever to be seen. We will gather anything we can find; rocks, trees and anything else you can think about.
-We are strong and smart, but we are weak in number, how do you expect us wolfs alone to build such a mountain
-We will just have to convince the other animals to do the work for us.
So the wolves left to convince other animals to join their cause.
The wolves arrive to a burrow.
-Friends, mice we want to talk to you. Are you there? Oh please go out.
- What do you want? We are too busy.
- We come to offer you a deal. It is about cheese.
- We are listening
- Well, you have noticed a yellow ball in the sky at night? The fact is, as you know, that it is big cheese ball and we are planning to reach it, however, we need your help and in exchange you will have all the cheese that you want to.
...
The wolves arrive to a prairie
-Beautiful rabbits don't run, we don't come here to eat you. First of all, we want to apologize for all these years. We are going to make it good and compensate you.
-How do you plan to do that?
-Well, you have noticed a big lost rabbit in the sky at night? He is on the Moon, and we are planning to rescue him. We are just going to need a little help.

The wolves arrive to a cave
- Bears, bears!
- We are here, we are rushed, the winter is approaching and getting food is not easy.
- It’s been a long time since we last visited you. We got a little bit of honey and it occurred to us to bring them as gift.
- Woow! It is the best honey I have ever tasted in my life. Where do you got it? You have more?
- No. The place is a little far and it is difficult to arrive. But if you want we can find a way with your help.
-Of course, where is it?
- In the Moon, I know it sounds a little weird, but they don’t call it honeymoon for no reason.
...
They did so with all the animals...
This way animals helped them by putting their food or everything they had on hand.Was missing material so it started putting parts of the Earth.
Months after they managed to reach the Moon, they realized the great lie of the wolves. The animals do not know what do, they had lost all, the beautiful Earth. They destroy their world because of lies. They put so much effort in getting what promised them that they destroy their home, their own home.
