Kai was lying in bed and snuggled into his soft pillow. He imagined it had
beautiful white clouds. Kai looked at the clock. Oh my goodness,
it was already 22 clock 30, and yet it was so bright out there, as if
someone had lit a thousand lanterns.
Carefully, he crept to the window and looked at the big round moon,
whose Blasting the trees, shrubs and meadows in a silver blanket
wrapped. Everywhere glittered the little dew drops as the many, many
asterisks in the sky.
What was that? Since moving to something?
In
fact, a small, silver bunny hopped through the middle of the garden. It
was directed up and sat on the hind legs. The small ears were moving
excitedly to and fro and the little nose sniffing carefully
considered it in the air.
"Oh," Kai thought, "if only I could
have only the rabbit, then I would always have something to cuddle
and love have. But certainly this is one rabbit the moon! "

time. The moon looked a bit sad, he was only half to see. Kai
opened the window and cried aloud: "Thank you. Rather good moon. Do not

night! "

parents good night, He slept a satisfied and happy. The moon looked
again into the Children, Kai and his rays stroked the rabbit, then he
