Many years ago in Asia there lived a shepherd called Endymion, this was a beautiful man, there were no women who did not admire the beauty of the young man, this pastor was very humble, lived in a cave inside the mountain, a man alone without relatives , At night he used to sleep naked, this allowed him to rest better.

Every morning he went out with his flock, crossed the village and went to a place in the thicket to give pasture and water to his flock, a hard-working man began his task before the sun came up and came back when he was Opposing, came very tired to the grotto and fell surrendered after the arduous work with the animals.

Every night he stripped of his clothes, to rest better, when he came summer he slept outside the grotto, to be able to observe the love of his life, Selene! The purest and bright star of the firmament, the handsome young man had fallen in love with the beautiful moon, every spring night and summer watched her, stayed up late, married very much asleep watching the beautiful Selene.

The shepherd every day was more in love with her, the beautiful moon was unaware of the existence of a person who died of love for her.

One night the moon incarnate in the goddess Selene went out for a walk in the mountains, there he found the man asleep on the ground at the entrance of the cave, he could not believe what his eyes saw, the most beautiful young man he had seen in His life, fell madly in love with Endymion, without waking him up he sat next to him, watched him as he slept placidly like a child, kept him company all night long before the sun came up, the young shepherd never learned that A woman who loved desperately spent the night beside him.

When he woke up he was very happy he had a beautiful dream, the shepherd lived alone he did not have a person to talk to, his only friends and companions were his sheep, walking on the paths to the pasture place, he was telling his dream to the animals .

Do you want to know what I dreamed last night? Endymion said to his flock.

I dreamed of the most beautiful woman that could exist, she lives in the sky, I sleep every night watching her, I dreamed that I came to visit and we stayed together holding hands silently contemplating the starry sky until dawn, said Endymion Their animals.

From that day the life of the young shepherd changed completely, he lived the day very in love thinking about the moon goddess Selene, not knowing that the moon Selene spent all night thinking about him.

One night like every night he undressed and went to sleep outside the cave to observe his beloved, he fell asleep looking at the beautiful moon, she saw him asleep descended and sat next to him to contemplate it as towards all Nights after falling asleep, but tonight something interrupted his sleep and woke up, great was his surprise when he saw the woman of his life sitting next to him, it was a dream come true, it was the same situation that days before he had dreamed.

The two stared at each other, as the lovers look, neither of them knew that the other felt the same and that their love was reciprocated.

I do not know who I go first, but the thing is that they began to kiss passionately, both felt that love was true, loved for a long time.

The love of this couple had many fruits, Selene and Endymion had fifty daughters, now that they were more in love than ever Endymion began to grow old.

This is the legend of the kiss of the moon, speaks of two people very much in love, she will live forever and anger getting old, Selene asked for help to God Zeus, requested that he grant eternal life to Endymion, Zeus replied that much could not do, But I helped them with a tip, made them see the couple that while the shepherd slept did not grow old, then the couple followed the advice of God Zeus, slept all day and only woke up at dawn, this way did not age and could Continue to love as they have been doing.
