Dialogue

2007

"Happy New Year! In Cantha, each year is named after one of the great celestial animals. This is the Year of the Pig!"

Okay, I'll bite. Why a pig?

"Each animal is associated with a set of virtues. The Pig is traditionally honest, tolerant, and supportive in Canthan folktales. Once when humans first walked the world, a man named Chong embodied these virtues, and when the end of his years came, the gods wished to elevate him as a celestial animal. Because he shared those virtues with a humble pig, he chose that as his celestial form. So this year at Shing Jea Monastery, his celestial form descends from the heavens for a great feast. You should not miss it...it will be twelve years before he comes again.

Thank you. And have a happy New Year!

Great. I'll keep that in mind. Now I have important matters I must attend to.

"Happy New Year! In Cantha, each year is named after one of the great celestial animals. You should check out the celebration!"

Okay, I'll bite. Why?

"Each celestial animal is associated with a set of virtues in Canthan folktales. Every year a different celestial form descends from the heavens for a great feast right here at Shing Jea Monastery. You should not miss it...it will be twelve years before this particular celestial being comes again!"

Thank you. And have a happy New Year!

Great. I'll keep that in mind. Now, I have important matters I must attend to.
