LB:Look, father bear. That′s the biggest moon I have ever seen.

FB:Yes, it′s a beautiful sight, little bear.

LB:I wish I could take it back and show it to mother bear.

UR:I know a story about a little bear who wanted to do the very same thing.

LB:You do?

UR:En ha, this little bear was away from his mother bear and missed her very much.

LB:Oh, he must be a little little bear.

UR:Well, maybe.

UR:You see, he missed his mother bear so much that he wanted to take the moon back to her as a present.

LB:But you can′t do that, the moon is too far away.

UR:Well, this little bear knew that. But he thought if he could scoop up the moon’s reflection out of the water, he could carry it home to his mother bear in a bucket.

LL:Hello, moon, I′m going to take you home and show you to mother bear.

UR:Back and forth he went, spoonful after spoonful, night after night……

LB:But it′s not the real moon in the water.

FB:Listen to your uncle Rusty.

UR:Oh, this little bear knew that, because his friends had told him.

LB:I know who his friends are.

FB:You do?

LB:Owl, hen, duck and cat.

UR:Yes, I believe you are right.

O:Little bear, what are you doing?

LL:I′m putting the moon in this bucket.

H:Why, is it going to fit?

LL:I′m going to give it to mother bear as a present.

C:You can′t do that.

LL:Yes, I can.

UR:The little bear was determined. He kept spooning one spoonful after another.

D:I think the moon is shrinking.

H:I still don′t see any moon in the bucket.

C:And neither do I.

O:It can′t be done.

LB:Was the moon really getting smaller?

UR:Oh, yes. Night after night, the little bear was making progress.

O:Look, the moon is half gone.

C:Oh, the bucket is half full.

LB:So the moon was in the bucket.

UR:Well the little bear hoped so. Because one night the bucket was full and the moon was gone.

H:The moon is gone.

D:You did it, little bear.

LL:Oh, I don′t see it, but I know it is in there.

UR:So little bear carried the full bucket back to mother bear.

LB:And did he give it to her as a present?

UR:Well, yes and no.

MB:What did you get there, little bear?

LL:I brought you a present, mother bear.

MB:Oh, what is it?

LL:It′s the moon.

MB:Oh.

LL:I know it′s in there. I spoon some of it out of the lake every night.

MB:Well, then I′m sure it′s in there. Thank you, little bear.

UR:Little bear picked up the bucket and put it in the corner of his room.

LL:Hello, moon, I know you are in there. Why don′t you come out?

UR:He waited and waited, but night after night, the moon stayed hidden. There was no moon in the bucket, and no moon in the sky.

LB:The poor little bear.

FB:I don′t think the story is over yet.

UR:No, not at all, you see that’s why the little bear′s friends came to see him.

LL:Hello everyone.

Friends: Hello, little bear. We want to talk to you. It is too dark out.

LL:I know.

H:Very dark.

LL:Yes, I can see that.

C:And we were wondering when you were gonna put the moon back.

D:Maybe the moon doesn′t belong in the bucket.

LL:You are right.

MB:Oh, hello everybody.

LL:Mother bear, I have to put the moon back into the sky.

MB:Good idea.

RB:It was a dark night, the clouds filled the sky. As the little bear carried the bucket back to the lake, his mother bear and all his friends were with him. He waited in the lake, lifted the bucket and through the water into the lake.

LL:There it is, the moon is back.

Friends:I am glad the moon is back, where it belongs and where everybody can see it. It ′s a lovely moon.

LL:Look mother bear, isn′t that the biggest moon you have ever seen?

MB:Ah, it certainly is, little bear. It′s a beautiful sight.

UR:And so the moon was back in the water and back in the sky.

LB:And so he did it, uncle Rusty, he did give the moon to his mother bear.

UR:And now whenever his mother bear looks up the sky and sees the moon, she knows the little bear can see the moon, too.

LB:Thank you for the story, uncle Rusty. Good night, father bear.

FB:Good night, little bear.

LB:Good night, mother bear.
