One day, Old Crane was too weak to go searching for food. He ac1 very worried so that everyone can see. Brother Crab who was nearby noticed Old Crane looking desolate so he ask him, "Why are you so sad looking, Big Brother? Why don't you go look food?" Old Crane laments, "Oh, Brothers and Sisters! The fish in this pond had be my food source! But I had overheard some humans talking with each other about a fisherman who will soon caall the fish here! If there is to be no more fish here, then my death is near approaching! That is why I , worried ... too worried to think about my hunger!" All the fish discussed among themselves and decided that Old Crane might have some ideas to help them. "Oh, Brother Crane," all the fish called out, "Do you have any plans to help all of us?" Old Crane tells them, "The only way of keeping all of you safe is to get you to another body of water. I can bring you to a pond nearby one at a time. I have seen that pond. There are not that many humans there." AJI of the fish were very happy with that plan and agreed to have Old Crane transport them to another pond. One by one, Old Crane carried the fish out of the pond and one by one, he ate them all before returning. Once all of the fish were gone from the pond, there was only Brother Crab left who asked Old Crane, "Oh Brotl Crane, please bring me to that pond as well. I want to go live with the rest of the fish." Old Crane was ecstatic that Brother Crab wanted to go with him ... he had never eaten crab meat before! So he t Brother Crab hang onto his neck while he flew him towards a mound of land. But Brother Crab was very atten1 and, while in the air, noticed fish bones scattered all over the place. "Huh! Am I coming so soon into my death?" thought to himself. "No, I must find a way of saving myself!" When Old Crane and Brother Crab were only a few feet from landing, Brother Crab took his claws and squee, Old Crane's neck until Old Crane was no longer breathing. And that was the end of Old Crane's life. Brother C had to find another place where he can continue his life. But upon finding no other pond nearby, he went bacl the direction he came from and luckily found his old home. From then on, Brother Crab passed down his true st about not trusting old cranes to the fish in the pond and he lived a long, happy life. �Jlugust 18-19, .2006 " Lowell, :Jrf.assachusetts ro volunteer for next year, please fill out the following information and submit it to: 1 _owell Southeast Asian Water Festival, c/o CMAA, 165 Jackson Street, Lowell, MA 01852 Name Address : Telephone No. II Email Address =>lease indicate when you would like to help out: Friday's Candle Floating Ceremony II Saturday's Boat Racing and Main Event • • • f you are interested in planning this annual event, plea se select one or more of the following committees: Boat Team Committee Entertainment Committee (note below if you would like to Emcee or work the stage areas for the event) II II Fundraising Committee (Sponsors, Advertisem ents, and Booths) Logistics Committee II Media / Public Relations Committee ■ Volunteer Committee Special skills or talents you would like utilized/Commen ts: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ ~********************************************* ************************************************** DONATION FORM f you are interested in making a contribution to help fu nd next year's festival, please complete and send this form 3nd a check to: Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festi val, c/o CMAA, 165 Jackson Street, Lowell, MA 01852 i Name/Business Address I Email !\mount of Donation: $25_ _ $50_ _ $100 $150__ $200__ $250__ Other$_ _ f you would like a sponsor packet with spo nsorship, advertising, or booth participation nformation, please fill out the above conta ct information and check here: - - 1 , Thank you for your support!
