Raul  +  10323 Thu, 09 Oct 03 04:36 PM Mike in Japan is right. Sometimes context is important. However, if we can say "to wish for peace", why can't we say "to wish for the moon"? Remember you can also say "to reach for the moon" in the sense of to desire or attempt something unattainable or difficult to obtain.

	Mike in Japan  +  10380 Fri, 10 Oct 03 01:04 AM Also; "Reach!," short for "reach for the sky" meaning - put your hands up and away from your guns. You may hear this one in American cowboy movies. Mike in Japan Joined on Tue, Aug 19 2003 Senior Member 4,371 I do like to be beside the seaside

	Woodward  +  10397 Fri, 10 Oct 03 02:52 AM Isn't a moon when you pull down your pants and show your butt like in the Braveheart movie? Maybe that is what they want when they ask for a 'Moon' Woodward Joined on Tue, Jun 24 2003 A New Zealander in Chile Senior Member 2,747 Don't let schooling interfere with your education. www.grammar.cl - www.vocabulary.cl

	lulumi227  +  10900 Thu, 16 Oct 03 12:23 PM I look the phrase up in the dictionary, and I find that ask for the moon and cry for the moon are the same. They both mean that someone pursuit the impossible thing. lulumi227 Joined on Wed, Oct 15 2003 New Member 04
