This story comes from Nagaland in Northeast India. The Nagas say that, many years ago, the moon lived close to the earth near their village and made friends with the people there. One day, an old woman was cleaning her house. She hit the moon with her brush when she was not looking. The moon began to cry in pain. The children laughed at the crying moon and started to throw stones at it.
Only one little girl felt sad because the children were hurting the moon. She told the children to stop but they did not listen. Soon the moon decided to go and live far away from the earth in the sky so the children from the village could not find it. The moon turned its face away from the earth so the children could not see it.
The little girl was sad and sang a song to make the moon return. This was why, every month, the sky was dark except when the moon turned its face to the earth again to listen to the little girl singing.

What is DIY? Why do many people like it? Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing. He enjoys his work, but it is not easy for him to relax(放松) after work. One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. "Why not make them myself?" Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. He was interested in it because it brings him lots of fun and makes life colourful. So what is DIY? Yes, it is making or creating (创造) things by yourselves, with your own hands.
It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers—do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They enjoy it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too. What's more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment (环境). It is a kind of green life. In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.
Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings.
