Here's a short version of the Moon Festival story:
A hero named Hou Yi got a magic potion to live forever.
He gave it to his wife Chang’e. One day, a bad man tried
to steal it, so Chang’e drank it to keep it safe. She flew
up to the moon and stayed there. Now, people celebrate
the Moon Festival by looking at the moon and
remembering her.

round pastries filled with sweet or salty
flavors.

admire the full moon together.
