A bee
has a string on his back.
The string
is on the moon.
There is a flute.
The moon is trying
to catch the bee.
The moon wants to
play the flute to the bee.
The moon wrote a song.
The song
was great.
The song is called moonlight.
The moon sings:
Moonlight
Moonlight is beautiful
because God made the moonlight
Beautiful moonlight
shines in the dark
because God made the moonlight.
