Catching the Moon

Catching the Moon

It was time to go to bed. Hal had a tantrum. He shouted and yelled. He stamped his feet.

“What is the matter?" asked the Queen. “What do you want?" asked the King. "I want the moon!" yelled Hal.

“You shall have the moon," said the Queen. The King called for the servants. "You must go and catch the moon," he said.

The servants were called Grim and Crumb. Grim was tall and thin. Crumb was short and fat. They set off to catch the moon.

The servants went out into the garden. The moon was high up in the sky. "There it is," said Grim. “How shall we catch it?" asked Crumb.
