The Moon and her Mother （月亮和她的母

One night, the Moon was shining quietly in the sky. From high above, she suddenly started noticing that the people on Earth looked very colourful and different from each other. She realised that this was because they all wore beautiful clothes!

一天晚上，月亮在天空中静静地闪耀着。从高处开始，她突然开始注意到地球上的人们看起来非常多彩，彼此不同。她意识到这是因为他们都穿着漂亮的衣服！

She thought, ‘0, I wish I could also have a nice cloak made from the colours of the rainbow!’

她想，'0，我希望我也能用彩虹的颜色制作漂亮的斗篷！'

As morning drew near, the Sun came up. It was time for the Moon to sleep. But, she went to her Mother and said, “Dear Mother, people look beautiful in colourful clothes. How I wish to have a colourful cloak for myself, too! Will you please make one for me?”

当早晨临近时，太阳升起了。现在是月亮睡觉的时候了。但是，她去找她妈妈说：“亲爱的妈妈，人们穿着五颜六色的衣服看起来很漂亮。我多么希望自己也有一件色彩缤纷的斗篷！请你为我做一个？

The Moon’s Mother smiled at her and said, “My dear child, I would love to make a cloak for you but how can I do so? Right now you have a new body but soon you will start increasing in size and finally, become bigger. Because of your changing size, you will not fit into anything I make for you.”

“月亮的母亲对她微笑着说：”亲爱的孩子，我很想为你做一件斗篷，但我怎么能这样做呢？现在你有一个新的身体，但很快你会开始增加规模，最后变得更大。由于你的体型不断变化，你无法适应我为你做的任何事情。

The Moon, sadly, agreed with her Mother. She, then, went to bed till the arrival of night.

“可悲的是，月亮与她的母亲一致。然后，她上床睡到晚上。
