“ Although...I'll, at first, extinguish the Moon. When the Moon goes out, absolute darkness come and will be very hard to hit me with any cherry–stones..." and the Great Magician became thoughtful. "What thing must I use to extinguish the Moon? A post stamps? A lime?"
"How can he extinguish the Moon with a lime?" was amazed the Hunter.
"I don't know," said the Mosquito, "But he can! We must immediately undertake something!" ”

“ Moonswitcher kept his magic wands, magic carpets, caps of invisibility and other things. They crept into the box and shut the top leaving only narrow chink to see their enemies.

"I said what you had heard!" snarled the Elemoont and then added more peacefully, "This is not the moment to a quarrel, and it is the very moment to make it up."

"We all are in a great danger!" ”
