Moon Rope
An adaptation of a Peruvian Folktale
Narrator: Mole was taking a break from digging for worms when Fox came by.
Fox: "Mole," he said, "if you could have anything in the world, what would it be?"
Mole: "Worms, worms, and more worms," Mole said. "What about you?"
Fox: "I want to go to the Moon."
Mole: "The Moon!" Mole gulped. "Why?"
Fox: "Have you ever noticed all those holes on the Moon? I’m just sure there are lots of things like mice hiding there. I’m sure the hunting would be great!"
Mole: "How will you get there?"
Fox: "I'll think of something, said Fox, and he ran off through the grass.
Narrator: Fox liked running through the grasses. It tickled his fur, and that gave him an idea. Why not make a rope out of grass? With a loop at one end of the rope, he could hitch it to the Moon and climb up. Fox ran back to tell Mole his idea.
Fox: "Mole! I've got it! We can make a rope. Then, both of us can climb to the Moon on the rope."
Mole: "Both of us?"
Fox: "Yes! There are big worms up there, huge ones!"
Narrator: Just then the Moon began to rise from behind the trees. It looked like a very big ball.
Fox: "Look Mole!" said Fox pointing to the Moon. "See all those holes? There must be lots of worms there too."
Narrator: Moles stomach growled. The thought of such a delicious supper made him very brave. Yes, he thought, he'd go.
That night Fox and Mole gathered grass by the light of the Moon. Then they braided it into the beginning of a very long rope. Each day they gathered more and more grass. Each night they added it to the braded rope from the night before.
Fox and Mole began to notice that each night they had to wait longer and longer for the Moon to rise from behind the trees. Each night as it rose it gave them less and less light to work by. Each night there was less and less of the Moon in the sky.
Fox: "Mole I think we better hurry or there won't be any Moon left."
Narrator: So that night, Fox took the rope and began to twirl it above his head. Faster and faster he swung the rope. Then with a grunt he flung it into the air. CLUNK! It landed back on his head. It hit him right on the nose. Fox growled.
Mole: "Maybe the great eagle would carry our rope to the Moon, I've seen her fly so high into the air that she disappears."
Narrator: Fox thought Mole had a great idea so, they set out to find the great eagle. They climbed over hills and through deep valleys. After three days they found her sitting on the branch of an old gnarled tree. Fox and Mole approached her very cautiously. They understood they could be her next meal. The eagle looked down at the two weary travelors. Mole shivered but Fox straightened himself up and puffed up his tail to make himself look taller.
Fox: "Oh great eagle, we two earth walkers come to ask of you a favor. On your next journey into the sky please take this rope and hitch it to the Moon and we will do the rest."
Narrator: Eagle didn't think this was such a good idea, but she had nothing better to do so she agreed. That night Fox and Mole waited and waited for the Moon to rise. Just when they were about to give up hope a small sliver of the Moon began to appear.
Carefully the great eagle took the rope by her beak and began to fly into the air. She flew higher and higher. The rope went higher and higher. Up,up, up, it went into the sky. Mole and Fox waited. Finially the rope stopped. Fox tugged at the rope. It didn’t move. Fox started climbing, paw over paw, eager to be first on the Moon. Mole followed, claw over claw.
Mole's claws slipped. He fell through the air, down, down, down, . . . PLOOMPH! Mole landed on the great eagle. She was following the two climbers. Mole hung on tightly as she carried him back home. He hoped to land unnoticed. But all the creatures were watching. They laughed at Mole.
Snake: "Maybe you didn't slip, maybe you let go on purpose so you could come back home."
Narrator: Mole was so upset by all the fuss that he ran away and dug a deep tunnel. He stayed there for a long, long time. To this day Mole prefers to come out only after dark, and he never ever listens to Fox.
