The Stories of the Chinese Moon Festival

The Chinese Moon Festival is on the 15th of the 8th lunar month. According to traditional Chinese culture, the moon is a carrier of human emotions. The Moon Festival is full of legendary stories. One of the legends says that Lady Chang Er flew to the moon, where she has lived ever since and you might see her dancing on the moon during the Moon Festival. The other one is about Jade Rabbit. An empty-handed rabbit offered his own flesh, jumping into a blazing fire to cook himself, so the sages were so touched by the rabbit's sacrifice that they let him live in the Moon Palace where he became the "Jade Rabbit".

Father's Day

It was a Father's Day yesterday. We don't have such a day in my country, but we have an Army Day and we congratulate all men and boys on that day. Women and girls present gifts, prepare tasty food and organize some concerts for them.
My daughter was happy yesterday, because her father came from overseas. My daughter and her Dad spent all day together. She prepared and presented some gifts for him in childcare. One of them was a postcard where she painted her father and herself. It's very fanny picture! The second one was a picture with her coloured hand prints. It was so lovely! The third one was a Diploma for the Greatest Dad in the world! Her father was touched by her presents.
