Das Mädchen, das den Mond trank (Gekürzte Lesung)

Mondlicht ist pure Magie. Das weiß jeder. Es war einmal eine Stadt am Rande des dunklen Waldes. Dort lebte die Hexe Xan. Keiner hatte sie je gesehen, doch sie war böse. Und gefährlich. Das wusste jeder. Jedes Jahr holte sie sich das jüngste Kind und verschonte dafür die Stadt. Na gut, sie holte es sich nicht, die Bewohner der Stadt setzten es im Wald aus, und Xan nahm es mit. So war es immer gewesen. Bis in einem Jahr das Mädchen Luna an der Reihe war, Xan ihm aus Versehen Mondlicht zu trinken gab und Luna herausfand, dass die Geschichte über die böse Hexe eine einzige große Lüge war ...
