Read:
Lisa and her cousins, David and Jonas, are on vacation at Aunt Lucia's house. Tonight, they decide to go to sleep under the stars. They take blankets, lanterns and settle in a field near the farm. Aunt Lucia's herd of four cows calmly chews the cud in the next pasture. It's a full moon night. Uncle Pedro told the children that when the moon is full, the goblins gather in a clearing. Neither Lisa nor her cousins believe these fairy and goblin stories, and decide to go anyway. They approach through the trees, and what do they see in the middle? Strange shapes move silently in the dimness of the night. What is that? Suddenly, a cloud hides the moon and our friends soon find themselves in complete darkness. Brrr…
They are not very calm. And if there really are goblins? Maybe it's better to go home! At that time, the moon reappears and brings the light back. Children see better what is happening. And what happens is they have a good laugh: a bunch of rabbits run across the floor. Rabbits? Seriously? Lisa and her cousins aren't entirely convinced, but they prefer to believe they are. Tomorrow morning, they'll swear they saw goblins dancing under the moon.
