Way back, when the world was fresh and new, lived a very special goddess named Diana. Diana wasn't like other goddesses who stayed in fancy palaces. Oh no! She loved the wild, green forests more than anything.

She was super speedy and could run faster than a deer. Zip! Zoom! And she was an amazing archer. With her shiny bow and arrow, she could hit a tiny leaf from far, far away. Twang! Bullseye! Diana wasn't just a great hunter; she was also a kind friend to all the animals in the forest. The deer weren't scared of her, and the birds would sing her sweet songs.

Sometimes, her friends, the playful water spirits called nymphs, would join her. They'd laugh and splash in cool streams, their giggles echoing through the trees. Diana loved being strong and free, exploring every corner of her beloved woods.

Now, Diana had a very special secret. When the sun would yawn and go to sleep, painting the sky with orange and purple, Diana would look up. Up, up, up, to see her other best friend: the big, round, silvery Moon!

The Moon loved Diana too. It would shine its gentle light just for her, making the forest paths glow softly. It was like the Moon was Diana's special night-light, guiding her through the quiet, dark woods. People started to say that Diana wasn't just the goddess of the hunt, but also the goddess of the Moon. She would dance in the moonlight, her silver arrows gleaming, watching over the sleeping forest and all its creatures.

So, if you ever see the bright moon shining down, remember Diana. She might be out there, running with the wind, her laughter mixing with the rustling leaves, under the watchful, friendly glow of her moon.
