Reading Comprehension
Once in A Blue Moon
Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon?”
People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very
often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets
because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon.”
Or someone who does not like to go to the beach might say “I visit the
shore once in a blue moon.” While many people use this phrase, not everyone
knows the meaning behind it.
The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never actually blue.
This is just an expression. The phrase “blue moon” actually has to do with
the shape of the moon, not the color.
As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change its shape.
We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example,
when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon. A
crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail. When we cannot
see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the entire
moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every
month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month.
When this happens, the second full moon is called a “blue moon.”
Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can
see, a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the
expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their
lives.
