Oh, hello. I'm Frances. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
I'm trying to work out how big the moon is. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
Do you know? | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
When you look at it in the sky, it just looks tiny. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
Just about this size. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
But when you see pictures of the moon, | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
it looks so big! As big as this! | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
Maybe, if you look for the moon tonight, | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
you can work out just how big it is. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
But it needs to be dark, as you can only see the moon at night-time. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
I wonder where it goes during the day? | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
Do you know? | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
Well, I know a story where one little girl won't stop | 0:17:47 | 0:17:52 | |
until she finds out where the moon goes when it's daytime. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
This little girl is called Luna, | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
and the story is by Ruth Martin and Olivier Latyk. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:04 | |
It's called Where On Earth Is The Moon? | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
On the night Luna was born, | 0:18:08 | 0:18:12 | |
the full moon filled up the sky. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
Brighter than the stars, as round as a button | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
and bigger than ever before. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
As she grew up, | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
Luna watched for the moon | 0:18:24 | 0:18:25 | |
and saw that it came to check on her at the time. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
At night, before she climbed into bed, | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
Luna like to stand at her bedroom window | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
with glossy moonlight puddling at her chilly feet. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:40 | |
From there, she could see the moon | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
sailing on a deep, dark sea of sky. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
The moon was so still | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
and so pretty | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
that Luna always felt soft waves | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
of sleepiness sloshing over her | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
as she drifted off to sleep. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:05 | |
As she slept, | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
Luna dreamed of crescent moons, | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
of half moons, | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
of full moons, | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
but most of all of walking on the moon. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
But each morning when Luna woke up, the moon had gone. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
It was nowhere to be seen in the plain clear sky. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
No stars blinked, | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
no shadows danced across the bedroom floor, | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
and there were no sparkly moonbeams | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
to spotlight Luna standing at the window. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
"Where does the moon go during the day?" thought Luna. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
She pondered, she puzzled, she wondered | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
and she mooned about her bedroom thinking all day long. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:52 | |
Dusk crept up while Luna thought. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
Creamy moonbeams spilled in through the window | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
and the night-time fell. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
Now the moon was back, Luna promised herself | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
she wouldn't let it disappear again. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
She would stay awake and not go to sleep | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
and keep watch for where the moon might go. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
From the window, Luna could see the ocean far away in the distance. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
As dark as the sky, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
the water glistened, | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
the waves whooshed and whooshed at the shore. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:29 | |
Luna's dream took her down | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
into the murky depths of the ocean. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
There, she found a fish that glowed and glistened like the moon, | 0:20:34 | 0:20:39 | |
but no sign of the moon at all. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
The next morning, | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
Luna woke up still wondering where the moon might go in the daytime. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
She wished the day away | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
and promised herself she would find out that night. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
As night-time came, Luna looked out at the moon, | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
beyond the forest and over the distant mountains. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
"Cruk, cruk, cruk," chirruped the crickets. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
"T-wit, t-woo!" hooted the owls. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
Luna tried as hard as she could to stay awake, | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
but before long, | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
she felt herself falling into a dreamy sleep. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
"Maybe," she thought, | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
"the moon will roll down behind the mountains, | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
"far, far away." | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
Luna's dream took her floating high over the mountains. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:29 | |
There, shimmering and shining, | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
Luna saw a frozen lake as bright and beautiful as the moon, | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
but no sign of the moon at all. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Could there be a place Luna hadn't searched? | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
Beyond the ocean? Higher than the mountains? | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
Further than the clouds, where the moon might live? | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
Luna's dream took her far, far away | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
into space. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
There, dancing in the darkness, | 0:21:56 | 0:22:00 | |
she found the moon at long last! | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
It was brighter than the stars | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
and round as a button | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
and beautiful as it was on the night she was born. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
"Hurry home, Luna," whispered the moon softly. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
"It's bedtime." | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
"But where do you go in the daytime?" Luna asked. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
And the moon replied, | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
"I'm always here in space | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
"watching over you. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
"You just can't see me in the daytime." | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
That night and for ever after, | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
Luna slept peacefully | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
knowing that the moon lived in space | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
and appeared in the sky | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
to check on her when night-time fell. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
But being a curious little girl, | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
Luna soon began to ask herself, | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
"Where on earth is space?" | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
And that story was called Where On Earth Is The Moon? | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
So now you can sleep peacefully too, | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
just like Luna. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
Knowing that the moon is living in space, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
looking over you. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
Maybe you can visit it in your dreams tonight too. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
Make sure you say hello to the moon from me. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
Sleep tight, | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
and I'll see you again soon for another bedtime story. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
Night-night. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
So, Elephant, | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
where will we go in our dreams tonight? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
Space... | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
or just above the clouds? | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 |
