Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival is here again.
My father and mother and I went to grandma’s house for a reunion dinner. After dinner, grandpa and grandma took out mooncakes to enjoy the moon; there are so many types of mooncakes! There are dragon fruit flavours, apple flavours, and watermelon flavours... Looking at these sumptuous mooncakes, my mouth watered. I couldn't help but take one and ate it with relish. . As I was eating, I curiously asked my grandpa why we eat moon cakes and admire the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival? Grandpa told me a story. A long time ago, ten suns appeared in the sky. There was a great hero named Hou Yi. He was so powerful that he climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain and shot down nine suns in one go. He also made the last sun rise and set on time. Benefit the people. Soon Hou Yi took a beautiful and kind wife Chang'e. Once Chang'e accidentally took the medicine of immortality and became a god and flew to the moon. In order to commemorate Chang'e, people have the custom of eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I had a sweet dream in the middle of the night. I dreamed that children from fifty-six ethnic groups gathered together to eat moon cakes and admire the moon.
