小明和丽丽是好朋友。中秋节快到了,他们决定提前制作手工灯笼。他们从小明的爷爷那里拿了一些竹子,还准备了五颜六色的纸。

一天下午,他们在小明的家里开始制作灯笼。小明用剪刀小心地剪纸,丽丽用线把竹子连接起来。他们配合得非常好,不一会儿,一个漂亮的圆形灯笼就做好了。

到了中秋节的夜晚,小明和丽丽提着手工灯笼,一起走到公园。他们坐在草地上,一边看圆圆的月亮,一边聊着中秋节的故事。月光洒在他们的脸上,他们都觉得非常温暖,也非常开心。

最后,他们在灯笼上写下了"团圆"两个字。丽丽说:“我希望每年中秋节我们都能一起做灯笼,赏月。“小明点点头,说:“好,我也希望每年都是这样。”

English Translation #

Xiao Ming and Lili are good friends. As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, they decide to make handmade lanterns in advance. They take some bamboo from Xiao Ming’s grandfather and prepare colorful paper.

One afternoon, they start making the lanterns at Xiao Ming’s house. Xiao Ming carefully cuts the paper with scissors, while Lili uses string to tie the bamboo together. They work so well together that before long, a beautiful round lantern is complete.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Ming and Lili carry their handmade lanterns and walk to the park. They sit on the grass, watching the bright full moon and talking about the stories of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Bathed in moonlight, they feel warm and happy.

Finally, they write the word “Reunion” (团圆) on the lantern. Lili says, “I hope we can make lanterns and enjoy the moon together every Mid-Autumn Festival.” Xiao Ming nods and replies, “Alright, I also hope every year can be like this.”
