Once, there was a little tree. One day, he looked around and saw the bigger trees. "They all look taller than me," thought the little tree to himself. He thought it was the soil's (土壤的) fault. So he lifted up his roots and moved over to the part of the garden which he thought had better soil.
A few weeks later the little tree looked up again. The other trees were growing and he was still no bigger. He blamed (责备) the lack of sunlight and moved to a sunnier place.
Time and time again, the little tree found more reasons for his not growing. He moved from point to point, always picking up his root, always moving and always searching for the right soil, water, fertilizer (肥料), sunshine and other more favorable (适合的) conditions. And he stayed little. The other trees stayed in one place and built strong roots. Their branches (树枝) grew. And the little tree still stayed little.
There are lots of fun- filled ethnic(少数民族的) festivals in our country. Let's take a look at some of them.
Ethnic Festivals | Introductions |
March Fair of Bai People | The March Fair is the most important festival for the Bai people living in Dali, Yunnan. It starts from the 15th day of the 3rd lunar month and lasts about 7 days. During the festival, people in and around Dali come together for trade. What's more, they race horses, dance to and sing traditional songs. |
Torch Festival of Yi People | In Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, Yi people celebrate the Torch (火把) Festival. It usually takes place from the 24th to the 26th day of the 6th lunar month every year. As part of the festival, every family needs to light a torch. The idea is that these torches will drive away bad luck. In the center of town, there is always a bonfire(篝火). People of all ages sing and dance around it. |
Water Festival of Dai People | The Water Festival is the New Year for the Dai people living in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. It lasts 3 days in April. During the festival, Dai people wear their festival suits to dance and throw water at each other ( they believe it could bring happiness and good luck). The wetter you get, the luckier you will be. |
