The Earth has a moon, Saturn has twenty, but Luisa, temperamental, unpredictable, creative, playful, whining, laughing, generous, needy and absurd, had at least thirty moons close to her. Each moon represented a different mood. The best moon illuminated night games when Luísa stayed up late playing games, playing games, jumping on the bed, watching TV, doing crazy things and looking at the sky. It was when the mother would come and say: “Stop it, tomorrow you have to wake up early”. Which was enough to wake up the worst of the moons: that of a bad mood. At that moment, she tapped her foot, cried, cursed, and her mother just said: "Luísa, you're a moon!". And closed the window. (…)
