There was a woman who was very poor and hungry. The moon, which was a very fat woman made of meat, saw this and came down to the woman to let her cut some meat off of her each night. She would get thinner, and not produce as much light. The other townspeople were getting upset about the lack of light from the moon, and wanted to see what was going on. A little girl watched the poor woman cut from the moon one night, and told the rest of the town. When the poor woman went to go cut some meat off of the moon, a bunch of townspeople came with their knives hoping to get some meat as well. This scared the moon back into the sky, and now she only comes out at night.
(The Moon)
I'm thinking about making the moon out of cheese, with a little boy getting the cheese from the moon. He's a poor boy with many siblings, and his siblings wonder where he's getting the cheese. When they spy on him, they see he is getting it from the moon, and one night they decide to lock him in his room (or something) so that they can go get the cheese from the moon. When they go, just like the original story, the moon gets scared and hides away until night.
