What if the moon swam in the water?

月在水中游, 如何?
A cold moon? A broken moon? An ugly moon?
冷月? 碎月? 怪月?

The tidbits of the farm-The squirrel and the persimmons
The squirrel and the persimmons
Under the persimmon tree, the squirrel looked up to the fruits every day.
The persimmons were turning red.
Nung-fu covered the tree in a bird net from the damage of the birds.
The squirrel had been craving for the red persimmons only without a chance getting into the net.
Wandering around the tree, a gap was found in the net enough for the squirrel to go through. The gap, neither too high nor too low, was just a little beyond his reach; climbing along the tree trunk, the net would block the way also. To see the gap, not to go through.
The squirrel backed few steps and sped up forward. Taking a big jump right down the net, grasped the net and hitched himself up into the net.
The squirrel picked a large red persimmon in the tree.
*”Nung-fu” is the pronunciation for “farmer” in Chinese.
農場小故事-松鼠與柿子
樹上結了許多柿子(Persimmon). 松鼠天天在樹下觀望.
柿子越來越紅.
農夫張開鳥網, 罩住柿子樹, 不讓鳥雀飛到樹上啄食.
松鼠想摘取紅紅的柿子, 怎麼都進不了網.
牠在柿子樹下東走西瞧, 發現鳥網收束不緊. 有一個小小的開口, 足夠讓牠鑽過去.
小小的開口, 不高不低, 但牠搆不著; 順樹幹爬又有網子檔住. 看得見開口, 卻進不去.
站在地上, 牠先倒退好幾步, 開始加速快跑. 跑到洞口下, 雙腳用力一蹬, 雙手立刻掛上鳥網. 再順勢使勁一拉, 將整個身軀拉進鳥網.
松鼠在樹上選了一個紅紅的大柿子.

Wonderful description of the squirrel and the persimmons.
We are very sympathetic. Our squirrel is also waiting patiently for the persimmons to turn to the right color before they grab them and enjoy their special treat………..

It doesn’t matter, whether in the city or in the country, we have the same problem.
Somebody like the squirrels, somebody don’t.
Thanks for your understanding.
