Before Monica went to bed she looked out of her window and saw the moon. The moon looked so near.
有一天晚上，小姑娘莫妮卡正要上床 觉，突然，她透过窗户看到了天上的月亮。月亮又大又圆，看起来距离莫妮卡非常非常地近。
"I wish I could play with the moon," thought Monica, and reached for it.
“好想和月亮玩啊。”莫妮卡说着，把自己的小手向月亮伸去。
可是，她伸啊伸啊，怎么也都够不到月亮。
"Papa," said Monica to her father,"Please get the moon for me."
“爸爸，你帮我把月亮摘下来好吗？”她对爸爸撒娇说。
Papa got a very long ladder.
于是，爸爸就找来一个好长好长的梯子，
He carried the very long ladder toward a very high mountain.
然后，爬到了一个很高很高的山上。
Then Papa put the very long ladder on top of the very high moutain.
他把长长的梯子搭在了高高的山顶上，不停地往上爬着爬着。
Up and up and up he climbed.
终于，爸爸爬到了月亮上。
Finally, Papa got to the moon, "My daughter Monica would like to play with you, but you are much too big" said Papa.
“我的女儿特别想和你一起玩” 他对月亮说，“不过，你这么大，我没法带回去啊”。
"Every night I get a little smaller," said the moon. "When I am just the right size you can take me with you."
月亮说话了：“我每天晚上都会变小一点。等我变得差不多大小的时候，你就可以把我带回去了。”
爸爸，请为我摘月亮（下）请戳>>
