It's a holiday?

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Oh? Ramadan is a holiday.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
That's right, Lisa and Callie. It's an important holiday for
people who are Muslim, and it includes fasting.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
So does everyone run fast during Ranada? I can run fast.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Actually, this is a different kind of fast. It's not
about running quickly.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Fast also means not eating or drinking.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Not eating or drinking. Why would anybody do that?

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Well, people fast during the many days of Ramadan so
they can spend extra time doing nice things for others,
thinking quietly and feeling grateful.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
But little kids don't usually fast.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Fasting means not eating. Yep, and guess what I learned
for Ramadan? People fast when the sun goes up all
the way until it gets dark.

Woa.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Well, Billy has been fasting for at least an hour.

tastes delicious, and refreshing.

bring monzo, then I'm not.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, and the holidays all have their own additions. Oops,
I mean traditions.

Speaker 3 (06:00):

Traditions are the ways people celebrate or the kinds of
things they like to do.

Like eating special foods yep, and other things too.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
What other things?

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Well?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
During Easter, kids hunt all around for hidden Easter eggs.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
That's a tradition.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
And during Passover kids hunt all around for a hidden
piece of mazzo called the afi coma.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
That's another tradition, different but kind of similar. Yeah. Cool.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Ramadan also has a tradition that's just for kids. It's
not a hunting game, though, what is it? In some
countries in the middle of Ramadan, kids put on special
clothes and.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Walk through the neighborhoods singing songs. Then everyone gives them candy.
It's called Garghian.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
That that's fun.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, that's true. Billy.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Family is a big part of all these holidays, especially
spending time together. Each family has their own traditions too.

some different traditions and some similar ones. We learned that
