Still, once I knew the secret, that this tale was more psychological than anything else, then I could really begin to appreciate it. Perhaps throwing an emotional imperative at the beginning would have made me enjoy the galavanting across the moon's surface a bit more. I didn't get into this one as quickly as the first two stories, but by the end I was fine. It sparkled with so much quick imagination that I was lost for a time.
