If you are standing on the Moon, you will never see the Earth rise or set. One side of the Moon always faces the Earth, while the other side always faces away. So depending on where you are on the Moon, the Earth will either always be in the sky, or never be in the sky; it will not rise or set.

You may have seen the famous "Earthrise" picture; it was taken from a spacecraft orbiting the Moon. Since the spacecraft was moving around the Moon, it was able to see the Earth rise as it moved.

The other parts of the story could be true. Because of the lower gravity on the moon, you can jump about 6 times higher than on Earth. Even though they don't contain water, many craters on the Moon are called seas, so you would be able to walk in the Sea of Tranquility.
