Joy, a moon traveler

Joy, a rabbit, wants to migrate to the moon.

She admires the moon so much.

She tries to figure out how to reach the moon.

She finds that the moon touches the ground on some nights.

Whenever it touches the ground, she runs to it.

But the moon rises before she can reach it.

She watches the moon carefully.

She starts to run before the sun goes down.

Still, she cannot reach the moon before it is off the ground.

During the day, she eats well and rests.

During the night, she runs to the moon as soon as she can.

Still, she cannot reach the moon before it is off the ground.

While running to the moon, she meets people.

One of them is a wise man.

He does not say much.

He watches her running to the moon.

She knows that he is watching her.

One day, she talks to the man.

“Why do you watch me?”

“Because I enjoy it.”

“What’s the fun in watching me run?”

“You keep running. That’s it.”

“Do you know why I am running?”

“I don’t know. It doesn’t matter.”

Joy, a moon traveler, keeps on running.
