for your 4th Grader.
Luna Lighthug lived in a quiet village tucked between rolling hills and fields of glowing night-blooming flowers. Even though she was a vampire, she sparkled under the moonlight instead of hiding from it every evening.
Because she loved moonlight so much, Luna Lighthug often wandered among the flowers, whose petals shone softly as soon as the sun set. Her curiosity guided her through the fields, and she cherished every shimmering sparkle.
Early one evening, dark clouds spread across the sky, blotting out the moon’s silvery glow. The wind whistled through the hills, carrying a deep rumble that made the villagers uneasy.
“Why is the night so restless?” Luna Lighthug wondered aloud, her voice trembling. She could sense a mysterious energy in the air, as if the wind itself were calling her name. Determined to help, she hurried to the heart of the village to see how everyone was faring.
The villagers gathered in the square, pointing to the swirling sky. Luna Lighthug remembered ancient stories told by her ancestors about powerful storms called hurricanes that brewed when warm ocean waters met cold air. Although they seldom formed near her village, something felt different this time.
“I must learn more,” Luna Lighthug announced, her voice steady despite her quivering heart. She decided to journey to the peak of Moonstone Cliff, a place said to hold the wisdom of wind and rain. But the path there was winding and battered by fierce gusts.
Lightning illuminated the sky, revealing slippery rocks scattered across the rugged trail. The climb seemed impossible, with jagged edges and sharp thorns blocking the way. Rain pelted down, making each step more difficult than the last.
Luna Lighthug clung to rocks and pressed on, her determination as fierce as the howling wind. Finally, she reached Moonstone Cliff, where a silvery mist spun around her like a veil. She took a brave breath, whispering, “I need to understand your secrets, storm.”
