Playing with the Moon (after Li Bai)
The moon, shadow and me
were playing kickball and the score was
27 - 10.
My team had 27 and
the other team had 10.
So the moon, shadow and me
was the best team ever!
When we won the game
we got a gold medal.
Then after the game was over
me and the moon and shadow
went to get some ice cream.

Translating Wang Wei
Once upon a time the empty
mountain not to see a lion but hear
a voice of a man. Reflecting a shadow
to the moon's deep forest, again and shine
green forest moss upon the green forest.
