Cantonese Storytelling on Saturdays: A BIG Mooncake for Little Star

Join us online as we read a short story, where a little girl is tempted by a BIG mooncake.

It's going to be Mid-Autumn Festival next Monday, on the 6th of October. Traditionally, the Chinese believe that moon is at its fullest and brightest today. They express their gratitude for the moon for the bountiful harvest of their crops, as well as pray for luck. Nowadays, we celebrate it by lighting lanterns, making mooncakes, and watching dragon dances and fireworks.

下個星期一（10月6日）就係中秋節喇！傳統上，中國人相信月亮會喺呢日最大，最圓。佢哋會祭拜月亮、感恩月亮賜給好收成、同埋祈福。依家，我哋慶祝中秋節會點燈籠，做月餅、同埋觀賞舞龍同煙花。

In "A BIG Mooncake for Little Star", a little girl is told by her mom not to eat the big mooncake. However, it is just so irresistable... What is going to happen next?

喺「小星的大月餅」呢個故事，一個小女孩俾佢媽咪叮囑：唔可以食個大月餅。但係，個月餅真係好吸引啊！佢究竟會點呢？

We will also invite children to learn how to write a few Traditional Han characters, and maybe even play a little story-related game. See you there!

到時小朋友仲會一齊寫幾個繁體漢字，甚至可以玩個故事小遊戲。到時見你喇！
