怎么了，松鼠？浣熊问。你为什么这么担心？你没注意到吗？松鼠问道。月亮正在消失。我们现在需要得到我们能得到的所有食物。否则就太晚了。鹿和浣熊抬头看着月亮。浣熊说:月亮不会消失。是的。松鼠说。比昨晚小等等。明天，这将变得更小。

the next night, the animals looked at the moon."is the moon really getting smaller?" asked deer. "i don't know"said Raccoon. but there was no question a few nights later. the moon really was smaller. squirrel is right. said raccoon. the moon is disappearing

第二天晚上，动物们看着月亮。月亮真的变小了吗？鹿问。浣熊说:我不知道，。但是过了几个晚上，毫无疑问。月亮确实更小。松鼠是对的。浣熊说。月亮正在消失

the wise old owl

a few nights passed and only half of the moon was left. the animals feared the moon would soon disappear. after a week their fears came true,the moon disappeared. they all ran to wise old owl to tell him that the moon had disappeared."you're all very silly" said owl. "Gather around and i will teach you a lesson about the moon."

臭鼬问：听说月亮消失了，这是怎么回事？看，松鼠指向月亮。现在月球上只剩下四分之三了。臭鼬说：它正在消失。

聪明的老猫头鹰

几个晚上过去了，只剩下半个月了。动物们担心月亮很快就会消失。一周后，他们的恐惧变成了现实，月亮消失了。他们都跑向聪明的老猫头鹰，告诉他月亮不见了。猫头鹰说：你们都很愚蠢。当你们聚在一起时，我会给你们上一堂关于月亮的课。

There are two things you need to know about the moon.' said owl."First,the moon does not shine on its own. the sun lights up the moon.second,the moon does not sit still in the sky ,it moves around earth.""oh yes "said owl,there is one more thing you need to know.the moon is like a ball"the sun can only light up one side of the moon,so when the moon mov around earth,you see only the part of the side that the sun lights up."

关于月亮，你需要知道两件事。猫头鹰说。首先，月亮本身并不明亮。太阳照亮了月亮。其次，月亮不是静静地坐在天空中，而是绕着地球转。哦，是的，猫头鹰说。还有一件事你需要知道。月亮就像一个球。太阳只能照亮月球的一面，所以当月球绕地球运行时，你只能看到太阳照亮的一面。

猫头鹰接着说，有时候你只能看到一半的脸。这叫半个月，他说。其他时候，你看到了所有的光的一面，这叫满月，有时候你根本看不到光的一面，你看到了黑暗的一面，这叫新月。猫头鹰说:但别担心，月亮不会消失。新月过后不久，你会看到一小部分发光的部分回来。听了猫头鹰的对话，其他动物感觉好多了。

听完猫头鹰课，动物们在外面玩了几个晚上。松鼠抬起头，看到了一小块月亮。猫头鹰是对的，松鼠喊道。月亮回来了。月亮每天晚上都在增大，很快又出现了满月。动物们举行了一个满月派对。
