The Moon Festival

中秋节

It was the day of the Moon Festival. Mai's whole family was coming for dinner. Did you get moon cakes? Mai asked.

这天是中秋节。 麦全家人都回来吃饭了。 “你有月饼吗？”麦问。

I want moon cakes, cried Mai. We have eight moon cakes, said Mother. But it's wrong to touch them now. We must make dinner first.

“我要月饼，”麦喊道。 “我们有八个月饼，”母亲说。 但是现在不可以触摸它们。 我们必须先做晚饭。

We'll tie lights above us like more moons, said Mother. We will say thank you for all we have. I will say thank you for moon cakes, thought Mai.

“我们把上方的灯系得像月亮一样亮。”母亲说。 我们要感谢你为我们所拥有的一切。 “我要对你的月饼说声谢谢，”麦心想。

The family ate dinner together. Grandfather told the story about a lady who lived in the moon. We can each make a wish, he said.

这家人一起吃晚饭。 祖父讲述了一位住在月球上的女士的故事。 “我们每个人都可以许个愿，”他说。

Mai looked at the moon cakes. She made the same wish she had made all day. Then she gave a happy laugh. She knew her wish would soon come true!

麦看了看月饼。 她许了一整天的愿望。 然后她开心地笑了。 她知道她的愿望很快就会实现！
