年獸的故事(英文簡易版)
Long ago, a monster called Nian came out every New Year's Eve. People were scared. But Nian was afraid of three things: the color red, loud noises, and bright lights. So people put up red decorations, lit firecrackers, and kept their lights on all night. Nian ran away! That's why we celebrate Lunar New Year with red, firecrackers and lights.
中文大意:很久以前,年獸每到除夕就會出現,但牠怕紅色、巨響和亮光,所以大家貼紅色春聯、放鞭炮、整夜點燈守歲,年獸就嚇跑了。適合睡前用英文說給孩子聽。
