Story of the Foreign Fairy Chapter 23

Suddenly one day, everyone wanted to stop working for seven days a week, gather together, and have a party. But every day is very busy; all year round, they can't spare any time. They had to have a full day to spare, which only happened once every four years. Such a day is placed in February in order to prevent confusion in the calculation of years and months (Note: February has a leap day every four years, giving February an extra day.).

So they decided to hold their party in this leap month. February is also a carnival month, and he will have to dress up in carnival clothes according to his taste and personality. They would eat and drink, make speeches, and say pleasant and unpleasant things to each other without scruples in a spirit of friendship. Ancient warriors often threw the gnawed bones at each other's heads when eating. But these few days of the week were devoted to a good deal of joking and witty remarks, of course in the spirit of innocent carnival fun.

Leap day arrived, so they held a meeting.

Sunday is the leader of these days. He wore a black velvet coat. Pious people may think that he is wearing the clothes of a priest and going to church to worship.

But any sophisticated person knew that he was wearing a fancy dress costume and that he was going to have a good time. The bright red carnation flower stuck in his buttonhole is the little red light in the theater. It says: "The tickets are sold out. Please find another way to entertain yourself!"
