(B)
Father’s
Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day.
And just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we
should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers found it was a good way to
get people to buy presents for their fathers, presents from their shops.
By the
way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have Children’s Day,
or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are
having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before too
long. Now, what do people in North America do
on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should
do－buy a Father’s Day present for your
father. They even tell a wife to buy a Father’s Day present－not for her father but for her husband, even if he
is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father’s Day present
for their grandfathers.
The
important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can
show their love to their fathers in a more open way.
