Memorising the Maria

Memorizing the Maria: Jack and the Mutant Beaver

Jack and Jill went to our moon to fetch a pail of water.

(After breaking his crown and her tumbling after they both got really weird.)

Jill set off to search the far side, while Jack was to take the pail and scout the near side.
 
Quite suddenly, Jack ran into Luna's only other inhabitant, the Mutant Beaver.
Formerly representing the constellation Beavius (now occupied by the Pleiades), the Mutant Beaver had been forever banished to our moon by Cepheus for biting Perseus' ankle during his fight with Cetus to save the lovely Andromeda.
 
Finally having someone to talk to, the Mutant Beaver refuses to let Jack pass until he's heard every silly moon joke he's been making up during his exile.

Jack, to this day, endures the Mutant Beaver's ramblings.
 
(Jill was last reported near the crater H.G. Wells ;)
