THUMP! The noise made Teaser jump.
"Look at that! Quick, follow me, Firecat."
The fallen moon was stuck in the roof of an old deserted barn.
Teaser climbed up and, pushing as hard as he could, tried to move it.
"Leaping Lunacy!!! It's rolling!
The moon rolled fast. It rolled past the tall pines...
and onto the purple river.
"Quick! This stick will do the trick," said Teaser, leaning over the bridge.
"SCREAMEOW!" The clumsy Firecat slipped and fell flat onto the moon.
And he slowly floated away...
toward the dangerous waters-end.
"What luck it's stuck! Give me your paw and I'll pull you up."
Teaser had spoken too soon.
The moon went drifting, deep into the night...
floating over valleys and hills,
until it came down on a prickle-red-tree.
Then out came five red owls and Teaser told them what had happened.
The owls picked up the moon with their beaks,
and they flung it far into the starry sky.
Teaser and the Firecat said: "GOOD-BYE."
