Would you like to go on a festival that is partly cut off from modern life? Do you want to visit a place where people still have a strong sense of local traditions? Let me introduce a festival that will meet your needs. The festival, called Up Helly Aa, is held in the Shetland Islands ,just off the coast of Scotland.

Many years ago, many of the Shetland Islands had days to celebrate the time when winter began to move towards spring. The early festivals had bonfires(篝火) and involved the whole neighborhood. They were quite dangerous. In one festival, barrels of burning tar (焦油 ) were pulled through the streets. Tar is very sticky and burns easily. Often, the barrels turned over as they were pulled along. The tar poured out, still burning, and houses on the street caught fire and burned down！So. in the early 1800s, the festivals were stopped.

But in 1877, Up Helly Aa started again. It was based on the early fire festivals. It is held about the same time every year, on the last Tuesday in January. The people who organized the first Up Helly Aa wanted to remind people that the festival was "traditional". So they used a Viking image(肖像) , which the early festival did not do. A wooden copy of a Viking ship is pulled through the streets and then burned on a huge bonfire. Men pull the ship through the streets with ropes. More men stand in lines on each side of the roads, holding burning sticks. All of them dress up as Vikings.

All the local people come to Up Helly Aa. But people come from all over the world to watch , too. Only local men can make the ship, pull it through the streets or hold the burning sticks. Women can't take part in this part of the festival , not even the local women. Anyone can go to watch, though.

Once the ship has been burned, there are lots of parties that go on all night. The women have been busy getting the parties ready all day. Everyone in the neighborhood , men, women and children, can go to the parties. There is lots of food and drinks. Often people sing and dance until early the next morning. So no one gets much sleep

Andrew was smart when he was young. He liked doing things in a way that he thought to be clever. But sometimes he was wrong.

One day，his father gave him ten dollars and asked him to buy some goldfish(金鱼).When he got to the market, he found the killifish(鳉鱼) looked like goldfish and they were much cheaper. So he bought some killifish and kept the rest of the money for himself.

When he got home，his father found what Andrew did at once. He put the fish in the tank(水箱) without saying anything at first. The next day he said to his son，“Andrew，do you know what you bought yesterday?Are they goldfish?” Andrew didn't know what to say. His father continued，“I'm glad that you know how to save money.
