Something great is happening in 2008 Taipei Lantern Festival!
All the sudden, the city is dressed up with ribbons and lights¡K
¡§ Have you heard? Something good is happening lately!¡¨
Recently in the Dawn Kingdom , everyone was smiling and
discussing one thing. This made Wealthy Mouse who just came
back from world traveling very curious.
He asked: ¡¨Is it about the grand opening of world's highest
building Taipei 101?¡¨
The guy replied: ¡§That is not a news anymore.¡¨
Wealthy Mouse asked again:
¡§ The Maokong Gondola starts the services?¡¨
The guy said: ¡§It has already started. I have taken the Gondola ride for several times¡¨.
The man was getting more and more excited: ¡§Guy, it's about the most beautiful mouse princess of our kingdom. She is getting married to the greatest guy in the world in 2008 Taipei Lantern Festival¡¨. This greatest guy will lead our kingdom toward a more prosperous future. As long as you can pass the test offered by the princess, you will be the world's greatest guy and you may marry the princess¡¨.
Knowing the news, Wealthy Mouse thought: ¡§How to become the world's greatest guy and how to pass the strict test?¡¨ Therefore Wealthy Mouse asked the Sun that shines on the planet. But the Sun said: ¡§I am not the greatest in the world. When the cloud passes by, my sunshine is blocked¡¨. Wealthy Mouse walked through mountains and rivers to find the Cloud. But the Cloud said: ¡§How could I be the world's greatest? As long as the wind bellows, I will be blown away¡¨. Wealthy Mouse did not give up. He held on Mr. Wind's clothes. However the wind said: ¡¨I am not the greatest, the wall that blocks me is the greatest ¡¨.But, the wall replied with frustration: ¡§I fear mice. You like to dig on me and I have nowhere to hide¡¨. Seeking around, Wealthy Mouse finally understood, he was the greatest in the world.
Therefore, Wealthy Mouse came to the palace of Dawn Kingdom with full confidence. He asked for the test from the princess. The princess said: ¡§I love Taipei this lovely city very much. There is always something touching in every corner. The beautiful scenery in Yang Ming Mountain , romantic Dansui River , the bustling night markets¡K I hope everyone can fall in love with Taipei . Therefore, I want you to collect 12 dawn lights of happiness from Taipei , and help to distribute Taipei 's touching feelings of healthiness and friendliness. Thus, you may marry me¡¨.
But Wealthy Mouse was no fool. He knew it must be teamwork, and only the team can make great work. Therefore, he set off to find the 12 dawn lights of happiness. He met Beethoven Mouse, the musician who was singing go-go-amigo on his trip. He found Goethe Mouse who was full of cultural and humanism concern, the nimble Tokugawa Mouse, the Einstein Mouse who fell in love with Harley, the Gore Mouse who advocated environment protection, and the busy richest Bill Gates Mouse. All of them came to the 2008 Taipei Lantern Festival. They contributed their own touching feelings to help Wealthy Mouse to marry the beautiful princess.
Wealthy Mouse works very hard, but he still needs everyone's help to find the beautiful 12 lights. Therefore we sincerely invite you to attend the 2008 Taipei Lantern Festival and make your own contribution.
And¡K if you happen to visit the Dawn Kingdom , please do not forget to pick up a little gold coin as your souvenir.
