One night Bear looked up at the sky and thought,

So he climbed a tall tree to have a little chat with the moon.

"Hello, Moon!" he shouted.

But the moon did not reply.

Maybe I am too far away, thought Bear, and the moon cannot hear me.

So Bear paddled across the river...

and hiked through the forest...

into the mountains.

Now I am much closer to the moon, thought Bear,
熊想，现在我离月亮很近，

and again he shouted "Hello!"
This time his own voice echoed off one of the other mountains "Hello!"
然后他再大喊了声：“你好！” 这次，他自己的声音从其他山传来了回音。

Bear got very excited. Oh, boy! he thought. I'm talking to the moon.

"Tell me," asked Bear, "When is your birthday?"
“告诉我，”熊问，“你的生日是什么时候？”

"Well, it just so happens that my birthday is tomorrow!" said Bear.

"What do you want for your birthday?" asked Bear.

Bear thought for a moment, then he replied: "I would like a hat."

"Hurray!" yelled Bear. "It fits just right!"
