七夕

七夕の物語、英語にするとこうなるそうです。

Star Festival

The Star Festival originates from Chinese legend of the two bright stars, Altair and Vega.
Vega, a weaving girl, and Altair, a cowherd boy, loved each other.
They had so much fun being together they stop working hard.
The king got angry and separated them by the big river or the Milky Way.
He allowed them to meet once a year across the Milky Way only on the night of July 7th.
On that day, people decorate bamboo branches with paper strips and ornaments to celebrate their reunion.
It is believed that a wish comes true when you write your wish on the paper strips and hang them on the bamboo.

アンサーノックスでも小さな七夕を飾りました。

日本語教室の帰りにはみんなで学院大学の七夕まつりに参加しました。

今年おり姫とひこ星は無事に逢うことが出来たのでしょうか？
皆さんも星にお願いごとをしましたか？
