Tanabata (Star festival) is on July 7th.
It is the festival based on a story from legend.
A beautiful weaver princess named Orihime (Vega) and a young cattle herder named Hikoboshi(Altair) fell in love with each other at first sight.
They had been absorbed in each others love, and they did not perform their duties well.
Then God got angry and decided to separate them by The Milky Way.
And they were able to meet once a year on July 7th.
We decorate branches of bamboo grass with strips of paper, celebrating reunitign of Hikoboshi and Orihime.
When we write a wish on the strip of paper and hang it on the branch of bamboo, it is said that the wish will come true.
Her first wish is "I want to be a pastry chef (ぱてぃしえになりたい) ".
The second one is "I want to be more punctual (じかんをちゃんとまもれますように)."
Since she can't wake up in the morning even though I wake her up so many times and she takes too long for breakfast and dinner, I often scold her.
I was glad to know she also wants to improve her own habit.
The third one is "I want to live in peace getting along with everyone (へいわなじだいでみんなとなかよくくらせますように)".
I was surprised with her third wish, but I knew why she wrote it.
Because when we watched the TV drama before, it was a story during World War 2.
She learned the fear of war from it.
She said:
"War is scary. I want to get along with everyone. I love everyone! I love mom, dad, my brother, friends, teachers...."
I really hope no more war and no more tears from losing their families.
(Her wishes written on the stips of paper which includes some mistakes.)
