"Children, lunch is ready!" called Grandma Rosa. David and Maya entered the kitchen. "Please can we play in the yard a little longer?" asked David. "If you don't eat now, the burgers will get cold!" said grandma. "I have an idea," said Grandpa Benny, "if you eat well and finish the entire plate, we’ll go and feed the parrots in the yard. What do you say?" ‘Yes! Feed the parrots! Feed the parrots!’ called Maya and David excitedly. "Great," Grandma Rosa smiled, ‘now please sit at the table.

After the meal we went out to the yard with Grandpa Benny. We cut apples, bananas and pears and put them on a tray inside the cage. The three parrots happily squawked and pecked at the fruits with their beaks. "Grandpa," asked Maya, "what is that round, black stone at the corner of the cage?" "This? This is a stone I brought back from the moon many years ago." replied Grandpa Benny. "From the moon? Really?" asked David in surprise. "Yeah, sure. I flew there with Eagle, the big, gray parrot. I haven't told you about my trip to the moon?" "No! Tell us!" urged David and Maya.

"It happened many years ago," Grandpa Benny said. ״I was a young mailman then. One day, a very strange package arrived at the post office: there was a small, white egg inside it. On the package was written: "To Buzz Aldrin, the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA." How strange. I'd never heard of someone sending an egg by mail....but a package is a package! I carefully put the egg in my mailbag inside a cotton-padded pocket, and off to Florida I went."
