About the Moon
The moon is very large. See how red it is! It looks like blood! The moon is round now, because it is full moon. It will not be so round the next night. The moon will lose a little, and the next night a little more, and so on until it it is like your bow when it is bent. It will not be seen until after you are in bed. It will grow less and less, until in two weeks there will be no moon at all. After that, there will be a new moon. You will see it just before night, and it will be very thin at first. It will grow round and larger each day, until at last, in to weeks more, it will be a full moon again like this. You will see it rise again behind the trees, in four weeks from this time, just as you see it now. If we had no moon, it would be very dark at night. We could not see to walk, or do anything. When there is snow on the ground, and the moon shines, it is almost as bright as day. When there is no moon, and the stars do not shine, it is very dark.
