The Sun and Moon Delivery Rooms
Date: 2015-09-25

Little girl: Mom, why are there sun and moon delivery rooms on the Panda Base?

 

Young mother: Because panda moms need delivery rooms to give birth to their babies.

 

Little girl: Why is the one called the sun delivery room, while the other, the moon delivery room?

 

Young mother thinks it over carefully: That is because babies in the sun delivery room were born accompanied by the rising sun during the day; while babies in the moon delivery room were born accompanied by the rising moon in the night.

 

Little girl suddenly realizes: Oh! I see. Then I can call pandas born in the sun delivery room sun babies and pandas born in the moon delivery room moon babies, right?

 

Young mother: Sounds good to me.

 

I happened to overhear the conversation between the mother and her daughter when I passed by the delivery room during my visit to the Panda Base. I instantly fell in love with this lovely mother and her daughter.

The little pandas in the sun and moon delivery rooms may also be surprised if they heard the conversation!

Let’s allow the baby pandas explain to you:

So the sun delivery room is called that because the shape of the room is like the shining sun.

We live in the moon delivery room. We love living here and we feel happy. The only difference is that the garden outside is smaller than of the sun delivery room.


Please look at my house for its shape.
