Laura: So, this is the temple fair, right?

Shirley : Yeah. Would you like to appreciate the Buddhist statues?

Laura: Sure. But let's go there first. People are gathering there. I'm getting curious about it.

Shirley: Oh, it's the “Blessing Wall”. That's a good place to go.

Laura: Why do people put these cards on the wall after they write some stuff on them?

Shirley: The “Blessing Wall” is said to be magical. The thing you write on the cards will come true one day.

Laura: Interesting. I have many blessings to give. So, can you wait for me for a while?

Shirley: Take your time.

(After putting her card on the “Blessing Wall”, Laura comes back to Shirley.)

Laura: Aunt Shirley, what are you doing there?

Shirley: I'm trying to drop a coin into the mouth of the fish statue in the well.

Laura: Why do you do this? Are there any interesting stories behind it?

Shirley: Yeah. People say that, if you drop coins in the mouth of the fish statue, you will be lucky. But it seems that I'm not that lucky.

Laura: Let me have a try.

Shirley: Good luck to you.

(Laura successfully drops a coin into the mouth of the fish statue.)

Laura: Oh, look, I did it. By the way, what do they do with the money collected in this way?

Shirley：For charity. I think it's really a good thing.

罗拉：那么，这就是庙会了，对吧？

雪莉：是啊。你想去拜拜佛像吗？

罗拉：当然。不过，我们先去那边吧。那里围了好多人。我很好奇那是什么。

雪莉：哦，那是“许愿墙”，是个很好玩的地方。

罗拉：为什么大家在卡片上写了东西之后，还把它们挂在墙上呢？

雪莉：据说“许愿墙”是很神奇的。在卡片上写的东西有一天会成真呢。

罗拉：有趣。我有很多祝福要送出呢。那么，你可以等我一下吗？

雪莉：你慢慢来。

（罗拉把卡片挂到“许愿墙”上之后，过去找雪莉。）

罗拉：雪莉阿姨，你在这儿做什么呢？

雪莉：我在试着把硬币投进井里这个鱼雕像的嘴巴里。

罗拉：你为什么这么做呢？这里面有什么有趣的故事吗？

雪莉：对啊，人们说，如果你把硬币投进鱼雕像的嘴巴里，你就会走运。但是看来我不是很幸运哦。

罗拉：让我试试看。

雪莉：祝你好运。

（罗拉成功地把一枚硬币投进了鱼雕像的嘴巴里。）

罗拉：哦，快看，我投进了。对了，他们会拿这些搜集的钱做什么呢？

雪莉：做慈善活动啊。我觉得这是一件很好的事情啊。
