From Aunty's House — the full story of Journey With The Gods, told episode by episode.

The next time you gaze into the night sky, take a closer look at the moon. If you are very lucky it may appear round and blue. This blue moon is very precious, for on nights when it shines, impossible things happen!
One night, not long ago, a beam from this blue moon shone into a room where two children lay sleeping. It settled on the picture of Ganesha, the elephant-headed god.
Who is welcome in the house Sitting on a little mouse? Ganesha, Ganesha!
