Description
Based on my short story "Little Mouse and the Moon"
"Once upon a time, a little mouse that used to look at the moon during the night. It was fascinated, loved to think the moon could be made of cheese, and deeply dreamed of going to explore it. One day the mouse decided, it would have built a spaceship to reach the moon! There was an old oil lamp, in the basement where he lived, that was just right; by a few tweaks there would have been fuel to travel and a comfortable glass cabin protected by a metal frame. Finally the great day arrived, all was finished, everything was ready! The mouse had arranged a fuse that would have been flamed by a match moved by a gear ... 3 .. 2 ... 1 ... GO!
There was a big blaze, the oil lamp darted out through the trap door of the cellar, drawing an extended flaming parable of light in the sky and finally the spacecraft landed ... there was really a great bang, the glass was cracked ... the mouse , a bit stunned, opened its eyes, and realized it was on a immense field of cheese, it was amazing! Had finally landed on its cheese moon! It was really happy! Lying comfortably admiring the stars, happily munching pieces of cheese gathered by the ground ... A chill went through its heart, mission was succesful!
Well... it just landed on a shepherd's cart carrying cheeses collected from the cheese factory where he restocked milk ...
We can get that... a dream may seem really absurd and crazy but... it is a starting point, and that, if followed with perseverance and pure and positive feeling, however, and always, it drives to something that will make us happy!
Cheese dreams everybody!"
