Read the story. 英文を読もう。
1On one spring day, a whole country dresses in orange. People wear orange shirts, orange hats, and even orange wigs. Some even make their hair orange for the day. In Amsterdam, people party in the streets and even on the canals. This is King's Day in the Netherlands.
2King's Day is on April 27, the birthday of King Willem-Alexander. But the story began in 1885 with a little princess. Her name was Wilhelmina, and she was turning five. Later, she became queen, and the day became Queen's Day. Many years later, people brought flowers and gifts to the palace on Queen's Day. When a new king or queen comes, the date often changes. In 2014, it became King's Day.
3Why orange? The Dutch royal family is called the House of Orange. The name does not come from the fruit. It comes from Orange, a small place in the south of France. In 1544, an 11-year-old boy named William got this land, and his family kept the name.
4King's Day is also the biggest flea market in the country. On this one day, anyone can sell things on the street without asking the city first. People sell old clothes, books, and kitchen things. In a big park in Amsterdam, children sell their old toys. In the city of Utrecht, the market even goes on all night. At the end of the day, many kids go home with a little money and a big smile.
