English Original
One day, Tony told a lie to his mother. That night, he felt very unhappy and did not want to play with the other children. He sat alone on the doorstep. Looking up at the sky, he saw the big, round moon. He felt it was looking down on him because it knew about his lie. He ran down the street to escape, but the moon kept following him.
Then he crept into the house and went to bed, but the moon watched him through the window. He pulled the sheet over his head but could not sleep. Finally, he crawled under the bed and lay there in the dark, thinking endlessly about the lie.
At last, he decided to tell his mother everything. He confessed the truth, and she forgave him. Tony promised never to lie again. He went back to bed and soon fell fast asleep, dreaming that the moon was smiling down upon him.

一天，托尼对妈妈撒了谎。那天晚上，他感到非常不开心，也不想和其他孩子玩耍。他独自坐在门阶上。仰望天空，他看到了又大又圆的月亮。他觉得月亮正俯视着他，因为它知道他的谎言。他跑到街上去躲避，但月亮一直跟着他。
接着，他悄悄溜进屋里上床睡觉，但月亮透过窗户注视着他。他把床单拉过头顶，却无法入睡。最后，他爬到床底下，躺在黑暗中，不停地想着那个谎言。
最终，他决定向妈妈坦白一切。他承认了真相，妈妈原谅了他。托尼承诺再也不说谎了。他回到床上，很快就沉沉睡去，梦见月亮正对他微笑。
