Have you ever made a wish
To the moon? I did!

The story that I am about to tell


Came on… a paper plane!
I opened it… and I read
The most unbelievable story.
Ready? I must ask you again…
READY?
OK!
Let’s open the paper plane…
One night,
One starry, starry, amazing night,
I was playing and talking to the moon.
I said, “Moon, you are so beautiful!”
Suddenly… Somehow…
My left foot began to float.
Then the other.
I floated from the ground.
Yes!
FLOATED! WHAT WAS HAPPENING?
On my way up,
I saw a little girl that couldn’t stop crying.
She lost her blue balloon…

With tears in her eyes, she looked up and had an idea.


I heard, “Mom, can that man bring my balloon back?”
Then, her mother screamed.

Because she saw me, a flying man,


Crossing the sky laughing! (I took off my shoes,
And the leaves tickled my feet…)
I was
flying!
I couldn’t stop climbing.
Higher, higher, higher…

And higher!
As I climbed
A bird rested on my shoulder.

Oh!
A plane!
“Oh! Oh! Oh!
A flying man!”
Said a confused passenger…

What? What? What? Where? There!


Flying is easy
Especially when you see air as water.
So,
If air is water… I thought “Shall I Swim?”

“Wow! It works”
I was heading to the moon!
“Moon!
You’re SO BEAUTIFUL!
You brought back all the colors to my life!”
“I did it, I wanted you” said the moon blushing.
“Really?”
“Yes!”
“Do you know all the people you inspire?”
“Really?” asked the moon.
“Yes!”
“YES!”
“YES!”
And I made a perfect landing.
It was the most incredible sunset
I’ve ever seen.
“My heart belongs to you”
I sighed to the moon.
I decided to stay forever
But I needed to tell my story.
How?
On paper planes!
So
This is my first plane, my first story.
All I ask you is to look up every night
More planes are about to land.
I am the happiest man on the moon!
Oh!, please tell me,
Will you make a wish to the moon?
THE END
