🎬 Sophie from France is staying with a family in Japan in August. She finds a cucumber with legs in the house. Her host brother Kenta explains.

音声はここから
Listen here

Sophie	Kenta, why does this cucumber have legs?
Kenta	Ha ha. It's a horse. It's for Obon.
Sophie	Obon? What's that?
Kenta	It's a Buddhist festival. We believe the spirits of our ancestors come home this week.
Sophie	So the horse carries them?
Kenta	Right. A horse is fast, so they can come home quickly.
Sophie	And the eggplant with legs?
Kenta	That's a cow. It's slow, so they go back slowly.
Sophie	That's so sweet. Is it a sad time?
Kenta	Not really. Families get together, and there's Bon dancing at night.
Sophie	It sounds like the Day of the Dead in Mexico.
Kenta	Yes, a lot of people say that. Do you want to come to the Bon dance tonight?
Sophie	I'd love to! But I don't know the steps.
Kenta	Don't worry. Just follow the person in front of you!
