Luna loved the moon. She would sit on her window sill and imagine what it would be like to visit it. One night, as she gazed up, a tiny moonbeam danced through her window and whispered, 'Luna, do you want to see the moon's secrets?' Luna nodded eagerly. The moonbeam wrapped her in a silvery glow and lifted her high into the sky.
