Japan<br />
My name is Yoshiko, and I just turned<br />
seven today. Today has been a great<br />
day! Seven is an important age in Japan.<br />
My mo<strong>the</strong>r made a<br />
special meal of beans<br />
and rice. She made<br />
a cake too. Lots of<br />
people came to see<br />
me and brought me<br />
presents. My aunt<br />
gave me a beautiful<br />
Japanese dress, called<br />
a kimono, to wear to<br />
special events.<br />
At my party, all of us made birds. We<br />
folded <strong>the</strong>m from special small, pretty,<br />
paper squares. Making things by folding<br />
paper is called origami. I really like it.<br />
My friends gave me <strong>the</strong> birds <strong>the</strong>y made.<br />
Birds mean good luck in Japan. I think<br />
my next year will be very lucky!<br />
