Mario meets Sai Fong, the owner of a shop in Chinatown. Through Sai Fong's story, we learn that crickets are very special in Chinese culture. Mario buys a cage for Chester that is shaped like a pagoda. A pagoda is a traditional Chinese building.
Questions for thought:
What is the story of Hsi Shuai?
Why do you think Sai Fong sold the cricket cage for only 15 cents? What else did Mr. Fong give Mario?
What was the fortune in the fortune cookie? What do you think this fortune means for Mario?
Answer any or all parts and leave your name and homeroom.
Happy Reading!
