One day there was a greedy king that was lazy and wanted to live forever. So one day the king set off to find a country that owned a bottle of pills that let you live forever. He got to the country and demanded for the pills. A man gave the king the bottle. When the king was about to go, the man warned the king "eat only one. If you eat more you shall die in a painful way." So the man decided to give one to his beautiful wife and one for himself. But one day when he showed the pills the wife wasn't pleased. The wife had saw people suffer before her eyes when the king ruled the land. So at midnight the wife sneakily stole the bottle and dumped all the pills into her mouth. She quickly swallowed the pills as the king woke up. The woman drifted up into the sky and she was never heard again. But the king died when he was old. The people praised the woman and gave her the title as the "moon woman" so every year there is a festival for the moon woman. So every time you see the moon. The moon woman is always watching us.
