One morning, Lina’s parents took her to the market. In the center of the square, they stopped in front of a big red dragon statue. The dragon sparkled in the sunlight, and Lina was curious.“What’s this, Papa?” she asked.
“It’s part of the Lunar New Year celebration,” father said. “It’s a special time to welcome the new year with family, food, and traditions. Oh! We almost forgot—it’s tomorrow!”Lina wondered what it would be like to celebrate Lunar New Year.

The next day, Lina was playing outside when her friend Tian ran up to her. “Lina! Would you like to celebrate the Lunar New Year with us tonight? It’s going to be fun, with lots of food and a dragon dance! ”Lina’s eyes lit up. “I’d love to! But I don’t know much about it.”
“That’s okay,” Tian said. “I’ll tell you! It’s about family, and showing kindness to others.”
That evening, Lina and her parents went to Tian’s house. Red lanterns hung everywhere, and the table was full of delicious food
“Red brings good luck,” Tian explained. “That’s why there’s so much red during Lunar New Year!”

After dinner, Lina watched the dragon dance. Everyone cheered. At the end of the night, Tian gave Lina a small red envelope.
“What’s inside?” Lina asked.
“Open it tomorrow,” Tian said. “It’s for good luck!”
The next morning, Lina opened the envelope and found a shiny coin inside. She thought about the celebration and how kind Tian had been to invite her. Lina smiled and promised to share kindness in the new year.


After dinner, Lina watched the dragon dance. The dragon swayed and spun to the beat of drums, and everyone cheered. At the end of the night, Tian gave Lina a small red envelope.
“What’s inside?” Lina asked.
“Open it tomorrow,” Tian said with a smile. “It’s for good luck!”
The next morning, Lina opened the envelope and found a shiny coin inside. She thought about the celebration and how kind Tian had been to invite her. Lina smiled and promised to share kindness and joy in the new year, just like Tian had taught her.
