A Tale about the Moon...

It counts the legend that a gypsy woman pray out to the Moon until the coming of sunrise, crying she ask for the day she could found and married a man. “You’ll will have your man a dark skin man"; answer from heaven the Silver Moon, "but in return I want your first-born child to be turned over me” I don’t need a child, reply the gypsy woman, what I want is a husband so let it be. By the next morning Gypsy woman was married to a Gypsy man, with the time she conceive and give birth a child.
"The Moon wants to be mother, yet cannot find a lover who will make her a woman; Oh Tell me Silver Moon... What are you going to do with a human flesh child? Oh Silver Moon, Silver Moon"
From a Gypsy father there was born this child, white as the coat of an ermine (the white fur of a stoat originating from Armenia), with Grey eyes instead of dark olive… The baby that comes from the Moon … Curse should be his race; this is a white man’s son! This cannot be hide.
Gypsy man was sure he has been betrayed. He went to his wife with a knife on hands, “who’s this child from? this is a dishonor!!!” and he deadly hurt her, then he went onto the top of a mountain, with the baby on his arms and there he left him alone…
In the nights when there is a full Moon it’s because the baby is in a good mood, but if the baby cry the Moon will wane to make him a cradle…
