Seeing the bad moon's hungry mouth wide open, who would be the next to be swallowed? Beneath the label of "bad" lies a variety of unspeakable emotions: loneliness, solitude, longing; sometimes, also unease and anger. This story uses the character of the bad moon to empathize with all those labeled "bad children." On one hand, the changing phases of the moon in nature suggest that this is a natural change, without an absolute distinction between "good" and "bad." On the other hand, through the character of the little fox, the story also empathizes with and cares for the feelings of all those experiencing a "bad moon." The story of the bad moon seems to say that no matter what you look like, in some unknown corner, there is always a pair of warm eyes watching over you--dedicated to every child and adult who has ever felt lost.
