The Moon and the CakeOnce upon a time, in a small village nestled among the mountains, there lived a young girl named Mei. Mei was known for her kindness and her love for baking. She would spend hours in her kitchen, creating delicious cakes and pastries for her family and friends.One evening, as Mei was walking home from the market, she noticed a strange glow in the sky. Looking up, she saw the full moon shining brightly, its light casting a magical glow over the village. Intrigued, Mei followed the moon's light until she came to a clearing in the forest.There, sitting in the middle of the clearing, was a beautiful cake. The cake was unlike any Mei had ever seen before, with layers of creamy frosting and fresh berries adorning its surface. Mesmerized by its beauty, Mei couldn't resist taking a bite.As soon as she did, the moon above began to shine even brighter, filling the clearing with its silvery light. Suddenly, the cake began to glow, its colors shifting and changing before Mei's eyes. And then, to her amazement, the cake began to speak."I am the Moon Cake," it said in a soft, melodic voice. "I have been sent by the Moon to find someone pure of heart and kind of spirit. Someone who will cherish and protect the beauty of the night."Mei was astonished. She had always loved the moon and the night sky, finding peace and solace in their beauty. Without hesitation, she promised to protect the moon and its magic with all her heart.From that day on, Mei became the guardian of the moon, ensuring that its light shone brightly in the night sky for all to see. And every full moon, the Moon Cake would appear in the clearing, a reminder of the bond between Mei and the celestial guardian above.And so, the village came to know Mei as the Moon Guardian, a title she wore with pride and honor. And every time she baked a cake, she would always save a slice for the Moon, a symbol of their everlasting friendship and the magic that bound them together.
