Moon Boy

It was late. I couldn’t sleep. I stood at my window and looked out into the sky.

I saw a shiny dot（發光的小圓點） land* on my windowsill（窗臺）. It grew* bigger and bigger and turned into a ball of light.*

I watched. The ball turned into a body and a face. It was a boy. He was small and white.

land /lAnd/ v. 著陸

grew /^ru：/ v. 增長（grow的過去式）

\"Who are you？\" I asked. \"Moon Boy，\" he said. \"Where are you from？\" I asked. He pointed to（指向） the sky and said， \"From there.\"

We talked and played happily. But soon the moon began to fade（褪色）. Moon Boy said， \"It's time for me to go.\"

\"No， don't go！\" I said. I grabbed（抓住） him and put him in my box.

But the sky was black. There was no light. No moon.

“What is it？” I was afraid（害怕的）. And then I heard Moon Boy calling me from the dark（黑暗）.* “There is no light because I am in here. The moon children and the stars are sad*. They miss（想念） me.”

And then I heard Moon Boy calling me from the dark. 然后我聽到月亮男孩從黑暗中呼叫我。

I knew I had to （不得不） let him go.* So I opened the box， and Moon Boy went out. Then I saw the moon and stars again. They were so bright（明亮的）. I closed my eyes and fell asleep*.

In the morning the sun came out， and I woke up*
