In a small village in Japan, there lived a very kind old grandmother. She had a pair of very dexterous hands and was best at making a special kind of cookie - moon cookies. The shape of this cookie was like the crescent moon in the sky, with a faint golden color, looking extremely tempting. Around the old grandmother's house were planted all kinds of flowers. Under the sunshine, the flowers were colorful and extremely beautiful. Her small kitchen for making cookies was always filled with a sweet smell.
Every evening, the children in the village would run to the old grandmother's house like a flock of happy little birds, chattering noisily. They knew that at this time, the old grandmother must have made delicious moon cookies again. The old grandmother would always stand at the door with a smile, greeting the children. Her wrinkled face was filled with a happy smile.
The old grandmother led the children into the house. On the table in the middle of the house were the freshly - baked moon cookies, still steaming. As soon as the children saw the cookies, their eyes lit up and their little mouths couldn't help but start to salivate. They sat down around the old grandmother, their little faces flushed, and their eyes full of expectation. The old grandmother said with a smile, "My little darlings, these are the newly - made moon cookies today. Have a taste quickly." The children couldn't wait to reach out and take a moon cookie, and took a careful bite. The crispy texture and sweet taste spread in their mouths, and immediately, satisfied smiles appeared on the children's faces.
After taking a bite, the children began to share the cookies with each other. They passed one to another, and the room was filled with laughter. A little boy said, "The moon cookies made by the old grandmother are the most delicious cookies in the world!" The other children nodded in agreement. Everyone ate the cookies while talking about the interesting things they had encountered in the village that day. Some children said they had seen a very beautiful butterfly, and some said they had found a very strange stone by the river.
After eating the cookies, the children followed the old grandmother to the yard. At this time, the moon was already high in the sky, and the silver moonlight shone in the yard. The children ran around in the yard and played games. Some were playing hide - and - seek, and some were competing to see who could jump higher. The old grandmother sat on a rocking chair beside, watching the children play, with a kind smile on her face. Under the moonlight, the small yard was filled with a warm and happy atmosphere, as if time had stopped at this wonderful moment.
