Read together
Once upon a time there was a small cemetery in a town known for its rich cultural traditions. Each year, the town held a procession to honor their ancestors and keep their traditions alive. One year, a new generation of kids decided to shake things up and have a little fun during the procession. They snuck up to the altar, pretending to be the spirits of their ancestors, and started leading the procession in silly dance moves. The grown-ups were shocked, but soon found themselves laughing and joining in on the fun. From then on, the procession became a lively celebration of honoring their ancestors and preserving their culture.
Talk about it
Reflection
- Why did the new generation want to change the procession?
- Why did the grown-ups initially react to the kids' actions?
- What does it mean to honor ancestors and preserve culture?
- How did the procession change after the kids took part?
- What can we learn from the story about keeping traditions alive?
