For homework, please begin reading The Hundred Penny Box. Read from the beginning of the book until the middle of page 24 (“Dewbet Thomas a hundred years old and I got a penny to prove it – each year!”)

 

Please answer the following question:

Many Moons, and stories like it, are creative ways of encouraging us to see things from different perspectives and understand that there is more than one right answer, and more than one way of thinking about something. Perspectives can both prevent us from solving problems, if we can only value our own, and help us if we are willing to listen. How do the characters in Many Moon have different perspectives?

 

Please also translate the first page of The Hundred Penny Box into Chinese.

    They have the different perspectives on the moon. For exampe, the first man thought that the moon is bigger than the room where the princess is. The second man thought that the moon is bigger than the castle. The third man thought the moon is bigger than the kingdom. But the princess thought that the moon is just as big as her nail of her thumb.

Every one think the good things is different. Like the lord high chamberlain, he thinks the pink elephant, blue poodles, gold bugs or some strange animals can princess happy. The royal wizard think the rabbits out of silk hat, diving rod, magic wands is very good. T he royal mathematician like math. But the princess like themoon.

In the Many Moons,when the princess get "the moon".The adults are both fill into another problem:the moon will shine in the sky again and if the princess see it ,she will know that the moon she wore on a chain around her neck was not the real moon.Because the adults knows the moon won't grow again.But the princess does not think that.She think the moon will grows again in its place like a tooth. She have different perspectives with the adults,so she does not have the problems which the adults have.
