Tyler was looking out of his bedroom window. The sky was clear and the moon was huge.
He leaned his head on one side and then the other. He squinted.
His little sister Kate crept up behind him. ‘Boo’, she shouted and Tyler almost jumped out of his skin!
‘What are you looking at Tyler?’ she asked.
‘The moon’, said Tyler, ‘I’m trying to see the man in the moon’.
Kate giggled. ‘Don’t be silly Tyler, there’s no man in the moon. There can’t be because the moon is made of cheese’.
‘Perhaps he likes cheese’, said Tyler.
Mum walked into the room. ‘Hi you two, what are you looking at?’
‘We are looking at the moon’, said Kate.
‘The moon’s a balloon’, said Mum with a silly grin on her face, ‘a big yellow balloon!’.
They all looked at each other and laughed.
‘Tyler believes there’s a man in the moon’, chuckled Kate.
‘Kate believes the moon is made of cheese’, laughed Tyler, ‘and it’s not a balloon Mum!’
‘I’ll tell you what I believe’, said Mum, ‘I believe its way past your bedtime!’
Kate went back to her room and opened the curtains just a little so she could see the moon from her bed. She saw a little mouse nibbling away at the surface.
Tyler took one last look before he jumped into bed. He waved to the man in the moon, and the man in the moon winked back!..

Thank you Chris.
Nice one. You can see the Man in the Moon when it is a half moon in the sky……… the ‘jagged’ edge looks like a face!
I’ve never noticed that!
Maybe you’ll see him next time the moon is half full.
fun
