I love the moon, her purity, her mystery, and her eternity.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I sat in my crib in the courtyard after dinner and quietly waited for the moon to come. After a while, the moon sister quietly revealed her round smiling face, looking down on the vast earth. Everything in the countryside seemed to be covered with a thin layer of sand by the moon, like a realistic jade sculpture, solemn and beautiful. My sister came over and took us by the hand and told us the story of "Change running to the moon".

Hou Yi shot down nine suns for the sake of the people, and the Queen Mother learned of it and rewarded Hou Yi with immortality medicine. After returning home, Hou Yi asked his wife Change to hide the elixir of immortality. On the 15th of August of that year, Hou Yi took his disciples out hunting and took the opportunity to force Chang E to hand over the elixir of immortality on the pretext that he was not feeling well. The change had no choice but to swallow all the medicine in a hurry. Immediately, she will be as light as a swallow, floating leisurely up into the sky. After Hou Yi returned, learned the news, and grief. The next year, on August 15, Hou Yi and the villagers set out delicious food for Change under the moonlight, and some of Chang'e's favorite food, wanting to use these foods to send their thoughts to Change. Since then, the 15th of August every year is designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival.

O moon, you bring people's thoughts to the beautiful and kind Change. Your purity, eternity, and mystery will always exist in the long river of time and space and win the praise of the world. I love the moon!

The moon jumped gently, but the elephant could not pick, so-called the bull. The bull steps by step to the elephant's back, the bull stretched the tail, the moon looked, what is this, I jump, I jump, the moon and jump on a little, the bull looked and did not pick, it called the little monkey, the bull shouted: "Come up, pick the moon."

Essay on the Moon (3)

One day, the moon was lonely, so it approached the earth to talk.

"Brother Earth, I envy you! You are full of factories, trees, mountains, and water are loved by people, and so many people live in your place. I, on the other hand, have just arrived a few people, and in a few days, I will be gone." The moon said to the earth.

The earth sighed and said to the moon, "Sister moon, you are talking about me a few years ago. Now, people are throwing garbage and wasting resources, the population is growing rapidly, and I am dying!" After saying that, the earth gave some of the resources in its own body to human beings.

"Brother Earth, how come there are more hills on the Yellow Mountain?" The moon said in surprise, "No, that's a mountain of garbage, the grass and flowers are down!"

The Earth looked at the Yellow River and said to the astonished Moon, "Look, the Yellow River is still clear and bright upstream, but downstream, it becomes muddy and is called the 'harmful river'! This is the mother river that feeds the children of China!"

The moon sighed softly and turned to Mercury and said, "So, can people live on you?"

Mercury looked at the Earth, took a bite of sorbet, and said, "No! My temperature is too high!"

The moon asked Mars, and Mars tightened its scarf and said, "I'm a little colder, so I can't either!"

The moon had to ask several other planets, and they all wore hats and cotton coats and said, "No way, we're too cold! Not suitable for human life!" The moon had to ask a few other planets, and they all wore hats and coats and said, "No way, we're too cold! Not suitable for human life!" The Earth cried sadly. Students, let's quickly protect the ecological environment, protect our home, we only have one Earth!
