Lantern Festival is an important cultural event for Chinese people. When it arrives, it also indicates the last day of Chinese New Year Vacation. On the fifteenth of the first month of our lunar calendar, the entire family members always have rice ball soup together. Later, everyone carries a lantern and walks to the town center where riddle contest is held.
Today is Lantern Festival. I don’t have rice ball soup for you but I would like to share a riddle with you. What is this poem about? Can you identify the poet? Ah! Do you see any “I” in the poem?
Wide enough to keep you looking
Open enough to keep you moving
Dry enough to keep you honest
Prickly enough to make you tough
Green enough to go on living
Old enough to give you dreams
