Behind the snack locker, where the air smelled like foil packs and freeze-dried peaches, Apollo invented Moon-Crumb: hide one banana crumb where only a hungry friend would notice. He had the first crumb ready, tucked in his glove seam, but the best hiding spot was outside the cozy capsule—on the tiny sign that pointed toward Bananaview.
So out he floated. His tether gave a soft zip-zip against his suit, and the stars looked like sugar spilled on black velvet. A pebble-sized meteor pinged his boot and sent him spinning once, which cost him his lucky wrapper ribbon. “Don’t tell Mission Control,” he whispered, and pressed the crumb under the sign’s rim.
When he drifted back, the crumb was gone. In its place waited a silver seed bead from Zuzu’s repair kit, stuck exactly where his glove could find it. Nobody had watched. Nobody clapped. But Apollo grinned all the way to the snack locker, ready to hide the next Moon-Crumb—can you spot where his waving hand might reach first?
