It was Jerry's kite.
“Why don't you look where you are going?” asked the kite.
Jerry did not know what to say. The comet got angry and wanted to fight
with Jerry's kite.
Suddenly, a strange voice said, “You can’t do it in my country.”
“Hello!” said the wymp,“I didn’t think to see that. Good-bye, children, I'm
leaving you!” And the wymp disappeared.
At the same time, a tall, white and beautiful thing came out of the moon. It
was all in light. It was a white witch woman.
“I am the Lady of the Moon,” she said. “I don’t speak much, but I smile a lot.
With my smile, the world becomes beautiful, but my smile takes the colour
away from the flowers and heat from the sunshine.”
She looked around and saw Jerry's kite. “What is it doing in my country?”
she asked.
The biggest kite in the village was frightened and didn’t know what to say.
Jerry:
Chubby:

It is my kite. I made it and it took six half-holidays.
Chubby painted the moon and the stars on it.
I am afraid the moon is not like the moon, but it
was the best I could do with three paints and an old
brush. The stars are right.

The Lady of the Moon smiled. “Stars are not important! The moon is more
important! And who helped you come into my country?”

The wymp helped us. She was here a minute ago.
