Dear Kitty,
I’m happy to know that you like the storybook. And thank you for the red sweater. In Australia, we don’t have Mid-Autumn Festival. But we have Halloween (万圣节前夕) on 31st October every year. It’s an interesting festival.
In the evening, our children dress up as witches (巫婆) ghosts (鬼) and animals. We play a game. It’s “Trick or Treat”. “Treat” means to give us sweets or presents. We will go from house to house and say, “Trick or Treat”. If someone does not give us sweets or presents, we will play a trick (捉弄) on him later.
Many people put pumpkin lamps (南瓜灯) in front of their houses on Halloween. They make the pumpkins look like faces and put candles (蜡烛) in them.
Tell me some more interesting things about China. Write to me soon.
Love,
Mary
