Jack and Chinese New Year Town - amended

“Jack, where are you going now?” the Mayor of Halloween Town asked. “I need to find something to make my village happy!” Jack said. Jack found his dog, Zero, before he went to the forest. Last year, Jack made his village fun. He went to Christmas Town. Now, he wanted to go to other doors.

.

“Zero, what is it?” Jack asked. He pointed at the door. It wrote, “Chinese New Year Town.” “Zero, let’s go inside!” Jack said. “Where are we now?” An animal secretly followed Jack, but Jack did not notice. “Oh, help! What is it?” Jack screamed. Zero barked, but the animal kept following Jack. Jack and Zero ran away quickly. After a few minutes, they did not see the animal anymore.

.

Jack and Zero heard a voice coming from the village. They ran there and suddenly a boy in red clothes appeared. “Hi man, where do you come from?” he asked Jack. “Oh, I come from Halloween Town! Why are you wearing red clothes?” Jack asked. “Oh, because there is an animal called New Year beast living in our village, and it always eats our food! I wear red clothes because the beast is scared of red.” The boy said. “Can you take me to your village?” Jack asked. “Ok, sir, my name is Ben and what’s your name?” Ben asked. “My name is Jack!” Jack answered.

.

“There are many villagers firing red things, what are those?” Jack asked. “Those are called fire crackers! We always played them when something makes us happy!” Ben said. “Ben, can I bring some back to my town?” Jack asked. “Sure!” Ben answered. Jack saw some people giving red pockets and asked Ben, “What are they doing?” “They are giving red pockets to the children. We have a lot of things to do during Chinese New Year, like having fireworks, playing the dancing lion, writing Chinese calligraphy and eating Chinese New Year cakes! If you want to make your town happy, you can do all these things!” Ben said. “Thank you Ben, Zero let’s go back to our town!” Jack said. Then, Jack and Zero went back to their town.

.

Jack thought, “Let’s write some “fai chun” in our town!” Jack told his villagers everything about Chinese New Year Town. Some were dancing lions, some were writing “fai chun”. Jack made his village fun and became happy now.
