How was the Kitten’s First Full Moon Experience? 

For Kitten, it was the first full moon. She observed, "There's a little bowl of milk in the sky," upon seeing it. She desired it. She stretched her neck, closed her eyes, and then opened her mouth to lick. But all Kitten got was a bug across her tongue. Stupid Kitten! The small bowl of milk was still there, patiently waiting. She then collected herself, wiggled her bottom, and jumped off the porch's top. But Kitten simply fell and hurt her nose, ear, and tail in the process. Poor Kitten! The small bowl of milk was still there, patiently waiting. She followed it as a result, running after it along the sidewalk, through the garden, across the field, and to the pond.


However, Kitten didn't seem to get any closer. Little Kitten! The small bowl of milk was still there, patiently waiting. In order to reach the top, she ran to the tops of trees she could locate and climb again. The kitten was now afraid since she was unable to reach the milk bowl. Poor Kitten! What was she to do? After that, Kitten noticed a large bowl of milk in the pond. What an evening! She then sprinted off the tree, through the grass, and to the pond's edge. With all of her strength, she leaped—oh Poor Kitten! She was hungry, exhausted, unhappy, and soaked. She then returned home.


Meanwhile, a full and big bowl of milk was waiting for her on the porch. Blessed kitten!
