Brad,

I don't know whether or not to post this paragraph regarding the story why I chose it.

The story about“The Mushroom Necklaces” by Margaret is quite impressive. The traditional activity is like a festival. Readers could be motivated to explore a new hobby, for the forest contains so many beneficial things, such as, the scent of trees, the crystal dews, the peaceful silence; and the feelings that you experience when you find a mushroom in a hidden spot. To get up early and enjoy the natural atmosphere and exercise are healthy. The annual tradition is conducive to developing a diversified entertainment and draw public interest.

Water pouring suddenly made people soaked and laughing.Neptune Tsar came from the sea and gave his "sea gifts" generously.The carnival continued to the midnight....If you have no chance to participate this rememberable festival, you must read Victoria's essay "The Neptune Festival" at least.
