aishu's moon

there was once a little girl and her mother 

they were walking home from dance class one dark and stormy night 

their umbrella nearly flew away

the child held on tight to the mother

and away they flew

straight up to the moon

a thin crescent hanging in the sky

the moon looks so empty mum

it's only half way done

let's finish the other side 

she tried to take the umbrella from her mum but mother cried out

we will fall my darling

the girl thought aboutir and then flew her Monm to the tip of the crescent.  you sit right here mum you can dangle your feet. I'll be right back. 

then she flew to the top of the crescent and drew the second half with the tip of her umbrella slowly arching to the right till it reached her mum again.

there..now the moon is a perfect ring! 

I'm gonna go a few more rounds mum and she started going round and round by the inner edge of the ring

the ring slowly became an onion ring, then a donut, then a vadai and finally an idly with no hole in the centre! 

I'm done mum! 

but there's no way to go down mum said

we can wait here mum it's beautiful 

the mum held her child in her arms looking at her with love 

they say the mum and daughter are still up there gazing at each other. 

See if you can see them there on a full moon day!
