Bunny's Lunar Curiosity

Once upon a time, in a cozy little burrow, lived a curious bunny named Flopsy. Flopsy loved to ask questions.

One starry night, Flopsy gazed at the sky and saw the big, glowing moon. 'What is the moon made of?' Flopsy wondered aloud.

'Maybe it's made of cheese!' said Flopsy. 'Or maybe it's made of marshmallows!'

Flopsy decided to ask the moon directly. She hopped to the tallest hill and called out, 'Hello, Moon! What are you made of?'

The moon shimmered and spoke, 'I am made of rock and dust, reflecting sunlight. No cheese or marshmallows here!'

'Oh!' exclaimed Flopsy, with her eyes wide open. 'But why do you shine so bright?'

'I borrow light from the sun,' explained the moon. 'The sun’s rays reflect off me and light up the night.'

Flopsy felt a warm glow inside and thanked the moon. 'Thank you, Moon. I learned something new today!'

As Flopsy hopped back home, she thought about the stars. 'They must be like tiny moons!' she giggled.

Every night thereafter, Flopsy admired the moon and stars, feeling wiser and happy about the wonders of the sky.
