Tonight is the full moon, and Cedric has a plan. He asks Nika to walk up the hill behind town with him. He brings a blanket and a flask of hot tea.
今晚是满月，塞德里克有一个计划。他约妮卡和他一起爬镇子后面的小山。他带了一条毯子和一壶热茶。
They climb for twenty minutes and sit on a flat rock. The lights of the town are small and yellow below them. But above them, thick clouds cover the whole sky. There is no moon and there are no stars.
他们爬了二十分钟，坐在一块平平的岩石上。镇上的灯光在他们脚下，小小的，黄黄的。可是在他们头顶，厚厚的云盖住了整片天空。没有月亮，也没有星星。
"Oh no," Cedric says. "I checked the weather. It said the sky will be clear."
“哎呀，”塞德里克说，“我查过天气。上面说天空会很晴。”
Nika laughs. "It's fine," she says. "We have tea."
妮卡笑了。“没关系，”她说，“我们有茶。”
He pours the tea into two cups. It is sweet and very hot. The air is cold, but the blanket is warm. They put the blanket over their legs and sit close. Then they talk. They talk about their families and their first days at school. They talk about the worst food they ever ate. Time goes fast.
他把茶倒进两个杯子里。茶又甜又烫。空气很冷，可是毯子很暖和。他们把毯子盖在腿上，坐得很近。然后他们聊起天来。他们聊各自的家人，聊刚上学的那些日子，聊吃过的最难吃的东西。时间过得很快。
At a quarter to midnight, the wind gets stronger. It pushes the clouds to the east. A white light touches the grass, and then the moon comes out. It is big, round and very bright.
差一刻到午夜的时候，风变大了。它把云吹向东边。一道白光落在草地上，然后月亮出来了。它又大又圆，非常明亮。
Neither of them says a word. The whole hill is silver. After two minutes, the clouds close again, and it is dark.
他们两个谁也没有说话。整座山都成了银色。过了两分钟，云又合上了，四周重新暗了下来。
"Did you see it?" Cedric whispers.
“你看见了吗？”塞德里克小声问。
Nika takes his hand. "Yes. Next month, let's wait here again."
妮卡握住他的手。“看见了。下个月，我们再来这里等吧。”
