今天的月亮 The moon today
2019-2020 KIDO親子時堂 This story is about a giraffe who is the first one to find out that the moon has turned into a watermelon. He tries to tell his friends, but his head is stuck. He knows that the moon has turned into something, but he isn’t able to remember what. He gets a very heavy headache. His friends do their best to help. They bring him coconut, lemonade, cucumber, ice cubes, but he still has the headache. Finally, a friend brings a yellow watermelon. The giraffe finally remembers that he was hoping to tell his friends that the moon has turned into a watermelon.
I have an extremely poor memory, and I often have trouble remembering words and details. I wrote a short paragraph about a half-rounded moon about ten years ago. I really liked the idea of the half-rounded moon. After I started writing stories, I was hoping to write and illustrate a story about the half-rounded moon. One night, I thought the half-rounded moon looked a lot like a yellow watermelon, especially because of the seeds. So I grabbed the paper and tried to write down the first sentence of this story. Then the whole story unraveled in front of me. I wrote a short paragraph about a half-rounded moon about ten years ago. I really liked the idea of the half-rounded moon.
