Letter 5: Mid-Autumn Festival

Dear Tim,

         First, I am going to answer  your three questions. I have heard the old story about Chang'e since I was little. Chang'e was Yi's beloved wife. One day, to keep a wicked servant from stealing the magic elixir, she drank the magic potion, and escaped from the evil servant by going to the moon. Then, she became the Moon Goddess. Nowadays, people celebrate the " Moon Festival" by barbequing, eating some moon cakes with family. Though I don't like to eat moon cakes. About " Harvest Moon", in western culture, the first full moon after the fall equinox is called the " Harvest Moon", because the extra light of the full moon gives farmers more time to spend in the fields.

         This year, my family had lunch with my grandparents, uncle, and aunt in Yilan in order to celebrate the festival. I really had a good time with my dear family. There was something interesting during our lunch. I ordered a cup of juice as my drink, and I thought that it might be orange juice or apple juice. However, when I got my juice, everybody laughed! That was a cup of " lemon juice"! This was my first time to drink a whole cup of lemon juice, and I drank it with my face twisted...

         I was surprised when Hugo told me that Allison said something about me in the letter. Yes, I did have a crush on one of the actors. My classmates and teacher all knew it at that day... In fact, I had some conversations with him on Facebook last year, since Doris insisted that I learn more informations about him if I admire him. That's why I know that he is as old as us, so I hope that I can see him in the show next year!

Sincerely,
Candy
