One little bird looked at the sky,
saw a friendly face, fell in love.
He felt so much love for that face,
started singing sweet love songs.
The face kept getting bigger.
Love in the Bird grew even stronger.
One day it was like a round circle.
The bird was crazy in love.
The next day the bird had a look at the sky.
The face was smaller today.
He could not understand why and
the next day it became even smaller.
Now the bird was getting sadder
and it carried on like that every day
until one day there was no face.
The Bird was heartbroken that day.
One scientist took pity on the bird
and explained all about the face.
He said that the face was the Moon,
reflecting light from the Sun.
The shadow of the earth causes the
changes in the phase of the Moon.
The Moon has no life and it can't
smile cause it has got no face.
Happy with his explanation,
he asked the bird if he understood all.
There was no reply so he looked
at the Bird but the Bird was dead.
