Dialogue

2007

"All this talk of pigs and celestial beings confuses me.... Why prepare a feast for a pig when you could simply eat it? If it is like any of the pigs I have encountered, I doubt it would be offended. I must say, though, I have never seen anything quite like the fireworks they create here."

2008

"All this talk of rats and celestial beings confuses me.... Why prepare a feast for a rodent when you could simply eat it? If it is like any of the rats I have encountered, it's nothing but a filthy nuisance. I must say, though, I have never seen anything quite like the fireworks on display here."

2010

"All this talk of tigers and celestial beings confuses me.... Why prepare a feast for a giant cat when it can hunt for itself? If it is like any of the felines I have encountered, it prefers its meals killed fresh! I must say, though, I have never seen anything quite like the fireworks on display here."

2011

"All this talk of rabbits and celestial beings confuses me.... Why prepare a feast for a hare when you could simply eat it? If it is like any of the bunnies I have encountered, its flesh is succulent! I must say, though, I have never seen anything quite like the fireworks here."

2012

"All this talk of dragons and celestial beings confuses me.... Why prepare a feast for a dragon when you could simply eat the banquet yourself? If it is like any of the dragons I have encountered, it has bad breath. I must say, though, I have never seen anything quite like the fireworks here."

2013

"All this talk of snakes and celestial beings confuses me.... Why prepare a feast for a serpent when you could simply eat it? If it is like any of the snakes I have encountered, its meat is lean and good for the heart. I must say, though, I have never seen anything quite like the fireworks on display here."

All years

I did not realize Tengu participated in the Lunar Festival.

"Most do not. We have little to do with the trappings of human culture. However, it seemed worthwhile to come here myself and determine the true source of all the enthusiasm surrounding this event. I cannot imagine so many humans getting so excited over something if there is truly nothing to it."
