THE Tale OF the

Sun the

and

Moon

BY Kenn Nesbitt

2

The sun was in his bathing suit, the moon in her pajamas.

They played all day, until the two were called in by their mamas.

3

The sun went home and climbed in bed, his mama sang a tune, and soon the sun was fast asleep and dreaming of the moon.

5

The moon decided not to go; instead she stayed outside.

6

She danced and played and laughed and sang and stayed awake all night.

7

When morning came the sun arose and went outside to play, but could not find his friend the moon, who slept inside all day.

So now these two are best of friends, apart in dark and light.

10

The sun turns in at evenfall, the moon stays out all night.

11

The shining moon sees no sunlight, the sun sees no moonbeams, 12

but when they each are fast asleep they’re in each other’s dreams.
