The animals had long wanted to find out what the moon tasted like. Would it be sweet or salty? They just wanted to try a little piece. At night, they looked anxiously up at the sky.
They stretched out and tried to catch it, lengthening their necks, legs and arms...
Who hasn't dreamed of taking a bite of the moon? This was the wish of the animals in this story. They just wanted to taste a little piece but, no matter how hard they stretched, they were not able to touch it. Then, the turtle had a great idea: “If you climb on my back, maybe we will reach the moon ,” he told the elephant.
A story of desires that seem - at first glance - unattainable, but that manage to come true thanks to cooperation. A mutual aid in which very diverse animals participate: the turtle, on which the world was sustained according to mythology; the elephant, the giraffe, the zebra, the lion, the fox... Until, finally, the smallest of all...
Halfway between fable and legend, this story offers a poetic moral that speaks of generosity, solidarity and shared dreams. With a pinch of humor; which provides a smiling, mocking and slightly bouncy moon.
