07、Dragon Boat Festival 端午节

Liu Kong is a young boy. He has a dog called Xiao Long. It means “small dragon.” Xiao Long is small, but she is smart and fierce.

Kong’s mother and grandmother are at the kitchen table. They have a big bowl of rice and some long, green leaves.

“Mom,” says Kong. “Can I watch the dragon boat races?”

“First, help your grandmother to make the zongzi,” says Mom. “Then you can watch the races.”

“OK,” says Kong. He sits at the table. Xiao Long sits under the table.

Grandmother picks up a leaf. She puts some rice in the leaf. She puts some beans in the leaf. She ties the leaf with string. She is so fast! Kong tries to make a zongzi. He puts a little rice in the leaf. He drops a lot of rice on the table. Grandmother makes six zongzi. Kong makes one.

Grandmother puts the zongzi in a big pot of water.

“Now, we cook them for six hours,” says Grandmother. “Are you hungry now?”

“Yes,” says Kong. “And I want to watch the races.”

“Take this money,” says Mom. “You can buy zongzi at the lake.”

“Thanks, Mom!” says Kong.

Kong holds Xiao Long. He walks to the lake. There are a lot of dragon boats. Kong buys a zongzi from a woman at a stall. He tries to open it. It is very hot. He gets a lot of sticky rice on his hands. He tries to eat the zongzi, but Xiao Long takes it first. She jumps out of his arms!

The drummers start drumming. The first race starts.

Xiao Long jumps into the first boat! The boat is moving fast. The drumming is loud. Kong runs after the boat.

“Long!” shouts Kong. People think he is cheering for the dragon boats.

“Long, long, long!” they shout back.

Xiao Long runs to the front of the boat. She jumps onto the dragon’s head.

Kong runs faster. Xiao Long’s boat wins! She sees Kong and jumps. But she can’t jump far. She nearly falls into the lake. Kong tries to catch her.

He nearly drops her! But his hands are still sticky with rice. They get stuck in Xiao Long’s fur. She is sticky, but she is dry. And she still has the zongzi!

Kong is too tired to watch the races now. He walks home slowly. He holds Xiao Long tightly. He lets her eat the zongzi.

“So, who won the race?” asks Mom.

“The smallest, stickiest dragon!” says Kong.

刘空是个小男孩。他有一只叫小龙的狗。它的意思是“小龙”。小龙很小，但她又聪明又凶猛。

孔的母亲和祖母在厨房的餐桌旁。他们有一大碗米饭和一些长长的绿叶。

“妈妈，”孔说我可以看龙舟比赛吗？”

“首先，帮你奶奶做粽子，”妈妈说然后你就可以看比赛了。”

“好的，”孔说。他坐在桌子旁。小龙坐在桌子下面。

祖母捡起一片叶子。她在叶子里放了一些米。她在叶子里放了一些豆子。她用绳子把叶子系好。她跑得真快！孔试着做一个粽子。他在叶子里放了一点大米。他把很多米掉在桌子上。奶奶做了六个粽子。香港制造了一个。

奶奶把粽子放在一大锅水里。

“现在，我们煮六个小时，”祖母说你现在饿了吗？”

“是的，”孔说我想看比赛。”

“拿着这些钱，”妈妈说你可以在湖边买粽子。”

“谢谢，妈妈！”孔说。

孔抱着小龙。他走到湖边。有很多龙舟。孔刘在一个摊位上从一个女人那里买了一个粽子。他试着打开它。天气很热。他手上有很多糯米。他试着吃粽子，但小龙先吃了。她从他的怀里跳了出来！

鼓手们开始打鼓。第一场比赛开始。

小龙跳上了第一条船！船开得很快。鼓声很响。金刚追着船跑。

“再见！”孔喊道。人们认为他是在为龙舟喝彩。

“长，长，长！”他们回击。

小龙跑到船头。她跳到龙的头上。

孔跑得更快。小龙的船赢了！她看见了孔，跳了起来。但她跳不远。她差点掉进湖里。孔试图抓住她。

他差点把她甩了！但是他的手上仍然粘着米饭。他们被小龙的毛皮卡住了。她很粘，但很干。她还有粽子！

孔太累了，现在不能看比赛了。他慢慢地走回家。他紧紧地抱着小龙。他让她吃粽子。

“那么，谁赢了比赛？”妈妈问。

“最小最粘的龙！”孔说。
