Molly and the Moon

Molly the tabby cat lived in a beautiful house with her humans who took great care of her. She loved her human companions very much, but one night she noticed another.

The Moon shone so brightly that night, her rays shining down onto the porch where the humans were drinking their evening tea and giving Molly some head scratches.

Molly looked up as one of the Moon’s rays tickled her nose and she saw the radiant, glistening Moon smiling down at her.

From that night on, Molly wished she could meet the Moon.

She would dream of flying up and touching the Moon’s pale face with her soft paws and the Moon smiling back at her saying ‘you’re here with me now’.

Every night, Molly watched as the Moon shone brightly, travelling across the night sky, keeping watch.

One day, when Molly was older, she heard that her friend, Russel the retriever, had gone to the Moon.

Molly didn’t know exactly what that meant but now she knew that every pet would meet the Moon someday.

So, Molly would still watch the Moon most nights, but she was comforted by the knowledge that someday, she too would meet the moon and smile down at her humans from her place with her new friend and caretaker in the sky.
