Little and the Moon

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Little. He loved looking at the stars and the moon in the night sky.

One night, as Little looked up at the moon, he noticed something strange. The moon looked sad.

Little decided to climb up the tallest tree in the forest to get closer to the moon. He wanted to ask why it was sad.

When Little reached the top of the tree, he saw the moon up close. It had tears in its eyes.

Little asked the moon why it was sad. The moon replied, 'I feel sad because some people on Earth aren't honest.'

Little thought for a moment and said, 'I promise to always be honest! How can I help make you happy again?'

From that day on, Little always told the truth, even when it was hard. And every night, he would look up at the moon and see it shining brightly, knowing he had helped make it happy.
