Hi Sammy!

Thanks for your email. We’re celebrating Vietnamese New Year at the moment. We celebrate it in

the first month of spring. It’s a very important festival for Vietnamese people. Before the celebrations, we clean our house. This is a tradition – we wipe away all the bad things. On New Year’s Eve, we have a special meal with our family. We eat traditional food and watch fireworks at midnight. We also wear red clothes. Red means fire, so we believe that our red clothes help chase away bad spirits. When we wake up on New Year’s Day, we always receive lucky money in red envelopes from our parents and grandparents. We watch dragon dances, too. They’re my favorite part of the festival. I love Vietnamese New Year, because I like all the traditions and I like being with my family.

Write to me about one of your festivals.

Take care.

Once upon a time, there was a rich man living in a village. When he died, he left his two sons a fortune. But the elder brother gave his brother only a starfruit tree. When the fruit was ripe, an eagle came and ate the fruit. The younger brother begged the eagle not to. The eagle promised to repay him in gold and told him to make a bag to carry it. The eagle took him on its back to a place of gold. There, he filled the bag with gold. When he got home he was rich. The elder brother was surprised, so he asked his brother to explain. After hearing the story, he offered to swap his fortune for the starfruit tree, and his kind brother accepted. When the eagle came, the elder brother asked it to take him to the place of gold.
