Reading

Every year, Felix's town holds a lantern festival in autumn, when the evenings start to get darker earlier. Families make paper lanterns at home and carry them through the streets in a big evening parade. This year, Felix decided to make a lantern shaped like a fish, using orange tissue paper and a wire frame that his uncle helped him bend into shape. He attached a small battery-powered light inside instead of a candle, because real candles are not allowed for safety reasons. On the night of the festival, hundreds of families walked together through the town centre, and the streets glowed with colourful light from all the different lanterns. Felix's fish lantern was so admired that a local newspaper photographer took a picture of it for the next day's paper.
