Dinner with Grinelda (Luna, Part Eleven)

Grinelda announced that she was hungry, and suggested they visit the fruit market. She asked Luna to choose ingredients for a stew.

 

Luna explored the market, feeling overwhelmed by the variety of strange looking vegetables she had never seen before. She finally decided on some slender ripple-beans that glowed with a soft blue light, a bunch of lunar leaves and a bag of plump pintelli berries that emitted a sweet fragrance. Meanwhile Grinelda was haggling over the price of a large, ripe moon melon, finally parting with the last of her small change.

 

Pleased with their choices, they headed home. Over dinner, the conversation turned to how Luna might get safely back to Earth. The module was almost repaired, but there was still the problem of rocket fuel.

 

“I really don’t want to see you go, Luna dearie, but I have an idea!” said Grinelda.
