Kids, this is my favorite time of year
Toro, why do we celebrate Lantern Day?
When our ancestors had to leave Earth and live in the clouds
Many lives were saved that day
But unfortunately, many did not make it
For them we float the lanterns on the river as a symbol of remembrance
Did everyone bring a lantern from home?
Look at mine, it's probably the best!
Yes, Max, it's very nice
But everyone's lantern is wonderful in its own way
Now I want everyone to draw what they wish for
And put it inside their lantern
Abi, you already have a Mr Teddy
No, I drew a Mrs. Teddy for Mr. Teddy, so he won't be lonely when I'm not around
Here's my wish
Cookies?
Not just cookies! double chocolate marshmallow stuffed frosted sugar cookies
Doesn't your mom pack those for you every day?
Yeah but more would be even better!
Hm I'm not sure what you drew there Butch
That's bacon!
I saw it in pictures of humans from back in the Earth days
It's supposed to be really yummy
Er ... Should we tell him where bacon comes from?
No ...
My parents would give me whatever I want, so I don't need to wish
Peanut, where's your lantern?
I forgot it ...
I reminded everyone yesterday
I didn't forget. My family couldn't afford to buy me a lantern
What if everyone takes a small part from their lanterns and share it with Peanut
Together, we can make a new lantern for her
I love it!
What's wrong Max?
I don't really have everything
There is a wish I should have drawn
What is it?
I wish everyone liked me more
That's not a wish you can get by drawing
That's a wish you can get by doing
Wait!
Thank you Max!
