Chinese New Year fireworks

Ming and Mei hold different views on fireworks CNY.

Ming: Don’t like the noise. My dog is terrified.

Mei: But the spectacle! Bursts of light, showers of colored shooting stars criss-crossing the sky. Flashes, glitters, sparkles. Rubies, sapphires and diamonds.

Ming: FireFLOWERS, they’re nice. But it’s the fireCRACKERS going off, CRACKLE, BANG, RUMBLE, BOOM. All the alarms going off. The smoke. It’s like a WAR has started.

Mei: Only once a year. No smoke, no fire. Can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.
