M:Mother D:Daughter

D:Mommy, this Sunday is Chinese Valentine's Day.

M:Yes, dear. Chinese Valentine's Day originated from a love story in China. Niulang, a young cowherd, saw seven fairy sisters bathing in a lake. He was encouraged by his ox to steal a fairy's clothes.

D:What happened to the fairy with no clothes to wear

M:Zhinu, the fairy whose clothes was stolen, couldn't go back to the Heaven, so she married Niulang and had children. But the God of Heaven was angry when he heard the news and sent the Goddess of Heaven to take Zhinu back. The Goddess of Heaven used her hairpin to draw a wide river in the sky to separate the two lovers forever. They could only meet each other once in a year. D:That's on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, right It is indeed a beautiful but sad romance.

M:媽媽 D:女兒

女兒:媽咪,這星期天是中國情人節。

媽媽:是的,親愛的。中國情人節是源自中國的愛情故事,一個名叫牛郎的放牛工,看到七仙女在湖裡洗澡,他受到牛的鼓勵,偷走其中一位仙女的衣服。

女兒:那個沒有衣服穿的仙女怎麼辦呢?

媽媽:被偷走衣服的仙女叫做織女,她沒有衣服穿所以不能回天上去,所以她嫁給牛郎,並生了小孩。但是玉皇大帝知道後很生氣,便派王母娘娘下凡去接織女回來,王母娘娘用髮簪在天上畫了一道寬廣的天河,從此,牛郎和織女便永遠分開了。他們每年只能相會一次。

女兒:那就是農曆的七月七日是嗎?這真是一個淒美的愛情故事啊。
