📜 Story (Fiction!) 😂
Little Jun could hardly wait for the Chinese New Year parade! He had spent all week preparing his favorite festival outfitโa bright red jacket with golden embroidery. But what excited him most was his special wooden stick, topped with a small, coiling snake. "It's for good luck in the Year of the Snake!" his grandfather had told him. ๐ฎ๐
As the parade began, drums boomed, cymbals clashed, and colorful dragons wove through the streets. Jun walked proudly, waving his lucky snake stick. "Look, Mei!" he called to his friend. "This will bring us wisdom and fortune!" ๐๐
Suddenly, a gust of wind sent a red lantern tumbling from a pole. People gasped as it rolled toward a delicate paper float. Without thinking, Jun rushed forward and used his stick to gently stop the lantern just in time. The crowd cheered! "You saved the parade!" Mei shouted. ๐๐
That evening, as fireworks lit up the sky, Jun's grandfather smiled. "You see, Jun, the Year of the Snake brings wisdomโand today, you showed great wisdom indeed." From that night on, Jun believed his lucky stick truly held the spirit of the New Year. ๐ฎ๐๐
