Children's DayChildren's Day
by Ryoma
In Japanese Children's Day is called Kodomo no hi. In1984,
they changed Boys' Day to Children's Day. In the eyes of the
Chinese the carp is the strongest fish because it can swim to the
top of the river. Then it will turn into a dragon. On Children's
Day the mothers of Japan hope that their son will be as strong as
the carp .The carp is known as a hero because it has the fighting
spirit in its body. Children's Day is a national holiday.
Children's Day is celebrated on the fifth of May. The Japanese
celebrate holidays by giving special treats to their families.
For example, the adults give samurai dolls or cloth fish on
Children's Day. I like to celebrate Children's Day.
