S：What's that feast for
M：For Pu Du.
S：What does it mean
M：On  the first day of the seventh lunar month, the gates of hell are opened,
      allowing ghosts to wander the earth.
S：When will they be closed
M：Until the last day of the month.
S：That long! Isn't that scary
M：Take  it  easy!   Actually people will rarely open a new business in this
      month,  or plant crops, move home, rearrange furniture, or marry.
S：Is that all
M：Besides, superstitious  people  will also travel less, and will avoid leaving
      clothes outside overnight.
S：Why not
M：Oh,  just in case they are worn by ghosts which might lead to illness or death
      of the owner.
S：And what else
M：Some people will not go out after dark, and almost no one will go swimming. It
       is said they seek substitute bodies with which to continue their own
       transmigration...
S：And what is this feast for
M：For 'Good brothers.' In Pu Du, many local people make lavish offerings to
      placate any mischievous ghosts.
S：I see. But why are they called 'good brothers'
M：It's a euphemistic expression!
S：Oh,  do I have to be brothers with them
M：Don't be  scared!  If you don't wanna be brothers, then just be friends......
S：Oh, Mom......

兒子：這大餐是？
媽媽：是普度。
兒子：什麼意思啊？
媽媽：每年農曆七月第一天，地府門就會開，讓鬼魂們到陽間來遊玩。
兒子：什麼時候才關呢？
媽媽：到七月的最後一天。
兒子：那麼長，很恐怖吧？
媽媽：別緊張！有些人在這個月是不會開張做生意、播種、搬家、移動家具、或結
          婚的。
兒子：就這樣？
媽媽：此外，迷信的人也不旅遊，或把衣服曬過夜。
兒子：為什麼？
媽媽：以免這些衣服被鬼魂穿過，導致生病或死亡。
兒子：還有呢？
媽媽：有些人晚上不出門，幾乎沒人會去游泳，據說他們在找替身。
兒子：這大餐是要？
媽媽：給「好兄弟」的。普度時，當地人會做好吃的給鬼魂享用。
兒子：懂了。可是他們叫「好兄弟」？
媽媽：這是委婉的表達方式。
兒子：喔，那我可以不要跟他們做「兄弟」嗎？
媽媽：可以啊，可以試著交朋友……
兒子：喔，媽……
