“There’s a bun in the moon!” The smallest bunling hopped up and down excitedly. “I can see her!”
Addler shook his round head slowly. “Nope. Moon is a prittiful star lady, like Ladybun! All glowing and radiant and gentle and kind toward critters and generous with noms and-“
Bunlings pondered this claim carefully, peering at the moon in the sky, washed in its light.
“It’s so big that if there’s a bun there, surely it’s a whole nest! Many nests. Burrow!”
“‘n if there’s a leidi in there, she must be giant! Like Ceri!”
“‘s both.” Said the more talkative of the squirrel brothers. “Obviously. There’s a star lady in the sky, ‘n you can’t see her because she’s all kah-moh-flaaazed, ‘n you see just stars on her skin. But she wears moon on her head, like Ladybun always wears all the things ever.”
Critters listened eagerly, eyes growing larger, ears perking, occasional excited thump of a paw on the soft grass the only sound.
“AND. And. On that moon on her head there’s a bun. Just like Ladybun carries critters with her, the great giant star lady carries moon bun on her head, too.”
“Oooooooooo.” Critters sighed in unison, peering back in the sky. Reverent silence fell, broken after a moment by Addler’s dreamy voice.
“…so, do you think she has moon cakes?”
