Once upon a time, there was a big, round moon. The moon liked to sit high up in the sky at night. It would watch over the animals and people as they slept.
One day, a little bird saw the moon and thought it looked like a fun place to sit too. So, the bird flew up, up, up, to try to sit on the moon. But, the sky was very high and it was dangerous for the little bird to fly so high.
A kind wind saw the little bird and knew it was dangerous for the bird to fly so high. The wind gently blew the bird back down to its nest. The little bird was safe and could still see the moon from its nest. From then on, the bird knew it was better to watch the moon from the ground. And every night, the bird and the moon would sit and watch each other from far away.
