He tries to communicate with the moon, but the moon doesn't respond. The bear then travels to a high mountain peak, closer to the moon. As he yells out, the valley below echoes back. The bear thinks the response is from the moon. He then asks the moon when is his birthday and what does he want for his birthday. Since the information is the bear's own answer the moon and the bear have the same birthday and want the same thing.--Duana Fullwiley, 8/94.; PFA 1604-01-5081.
