Today is a very special day for Mr.Tabo. He’s been waiting a long time, so he’s more than ready forthis appointment. He took a nice bath in the pond’s fresh water,brushed his bangs, sprinkled himself with his best perfume (that’sright, eau de water-lily), put on his bow-tie and derby thathe inherited form his elegant grandfather, the super-famous “MagicTongue,” the heartthrob with the longest, most agile and stickiesttongue around.

So why is today so special, you ask?Well, because after a cold rainy winter, the skies have cleared atlast and that means that Mr. Tabo can spend the night with hisbeloved, the Moon. He’s madly in love with her and figures that ifhe likes mosquitoes and they’re attracted to the Moon, then shemust be super hot. So he sits quietly down, gazes at her fixedly toseduce her and draw her near, and when no clouds cross her face, hetries to surround her with his long tongue and draw her down to theriverbank. One day, years ago, he managed to caress one of hercraters and since then he’s never given up hope.
