Leo: Yes. Yours is a butterfly.
Mona: Oh, it’s pretty.
Leo: It represents longevity. And yours is a crab, Jack. It’s said to be
the symbol of the emperor.
Mona: And what’s yours, Leo?
Leo: Mine’s a lobster. A symbol of fun.
Jack: So the festival happens on the full moon?
Leo: Yes. It’s a time for families to get together.
Mona: And what about your family, Leo?
Leo: My parents live in a village a long way from here.
Mona: I mean your wife and kids…
Leo: Oh, I’m not married.
Mona: Oh really?
Jack: Excuse me, Mona, Leo?
Mona: That’s interesting…
Jack: Mona, I think I might walk down to the beach.
Mona: Tell me about the moon, Leo.
Leo: Well, the legend goes that there’s an old man on the moon who
has the names of all the newborn babies. He knows who will
marry whom.
Look around you. People are making wishes to him. It is said
that he will grant your wish.
Mona: Really? That’s interesting.
Mona: Oh, Leo, I’m sorry I have been so rude to you.
Leo: Not at all.
Mona: No, I have been rude. You’ve been patient and wise and
brave…
Leo: It’s nice of you to say so.
Mona: Look at the lanterns. They’re so pretty. What do you think,
Dad? Dad? Leo, where’s my father?
Leo: Your father?
Mona: I can’t see him anywhere.
Mona: Why weren’t you watching?
Leo: Excuse me?
Mona: He’s not here! We must call the police.
Leo: That may not be necessary. Your father is a very
smart man, Ms White. I’m sure he knows his way back . Let’s
check the hotel first.
