Chinese​ ​New​ ​Year On​ ​the​ ​thirtieth​ ​night​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Chinese​ ​Lunar​ ​year,​ ​the​ ​moon​ ​is​ ​big​ ​and​ ​shiny​ ​on​ ​the​ ​ground.

Mei​ ​walks​ ​to​ ​the​ ​garden.​ ​The​ ​pinang​ ​smells​ ​great!​ ​she​ ​picks​ ​them​ ​from​ ​the​ ​plant.

Mei​ ​sees​ ​some​ ​sweet​ ​gingers​ ​and​ ​starts​ ​chewing​ ​them.​ ​"Och!​ ​It's​ ​so​ ​spicy!"

Mei​ ​said,​ ​"I​ ​am​ ​so​ ​hungry,​ ​let's​ ​get​ ​some​ ​food​ ​in​ ​the​ ​market!"

She​ ​goes​ ​to​ ​the​ ​market​ ​and​ ​tries​ ​some​ ​bitter​ ​melon.​ ​"That​ ​tastes​ ​bitter!"

Mei​ ​doesn't​ ​like​ ​it​ ​and​ ​runs​ ​to​ ​the​ ​butcher.​ ​"Fatty​ ​fatty​ ​pork​ ​belly!"​ ​and​ ​points​ ​to​ ​the​ ​beef​ ​corner.

"Skinny​ ​skinny​ ​ox​ ​skin!"​ ​and​ ​points​ ​to​ ​the​ ​pointy​ ​water​ ​chestnut.

She​ ​walks​ ​to​ ​a​ ​grocery​ ​shop​ ​and​ ​plays​ ​with​ ​the​ ​long​ ​and​ ​thin​ ​horse​ ​whip.​ ​She​ ​looks​ ​like​ ​she​ ​is having​ ​fun!

Look!​ ​there​ ​is​ ​someone​ ​building​ ​a​ ​house​ ​next​ ​to​ ​the​ ​shop!​ ​Mei​ ​enters​ ​the​ ​house​ ​and​ ​helps​ ​chop some​ ​vegetables.

"Oh​ ​no!"​ ​says​ ​the​ ​lady.​ ​"Where​ ​is​ ​the​ ​lid?​ ​We​ ​can't​ ​cook​ ​dinner​ ​without​ ​the​ ​lid!"

There​ ​is​ ​the​ ​lid!​ ​The​ ​round​ ​lid​ ​rolls​ ​away.

"Wait​ ​for​ ​me!"​ ​Mei​ ​says.​ ​she​ ​follows​ ​the​ ​lid​ ​to​ ​the​ ​beach.

Mei​ ​finds​ ​a​ ​wrecked​ ​ship!​ ​She​ ​sees​ ​a​ ​boy​ ​and​ ​a​ ​girl​ ​are​ ​playing​ ​the​ ​pirate​ ​game,​ ​"Dinner​ ​is ready!Let's​ ​go​ ​home!"Mei​ ​says​ ​to​ ​them​ ​and​ ​go​ ​home​ ​together​ ​happily.
