The cat looked at the wise old tortoise and asked "Do you think there are mice on the moon if it is made of cheese?" To which the tortoise replied, "I doubt it, they are not tall enough to reach it!"


It gave me thoughts of mice in catapults being flung towards the moon!!

The moon being made of cheese seems to come from this fable -
A traditional Gothamite (a patron of a Nottinghamshire village) story relates of a villager coming home at a late hour and, seeing the reflection of the moon in a horse-pond, believed it to be a green cheese, and roused all his neighbours to help him to draw it out. They raked and raked away until a passing cloud sank the cheese, when they returned to their homes grievously disappointed.
