Unit 1 Festivals around the world世界各地的节日晨读 · 记忆 An Interesting Festival The Agricultural Feast takes place after the Independence Day
It is not a worldwide celebration
Only Christians in Mexico look forward to its arrival for its religious origin: Long ago, humans’ ancestors were bad
They fooled and played tricks on each other and never kept their word
So God turned up and drowned all their crops
Humans starved day and night, weeping
In order to gain God’s forgiveness, a woman poet set off to see God
She admired God and kept apologizing
God was moved
With his permission, humans finally had good harvests again
So, to wipe sadness and remind themselves of the belief in God, people began the festival
On the festival, people gather in the open air, such as playgrounds or parking lot
