The summer holiday is coming up. I am going to join an English Summer Camp to America. My pen friend Peter lives in New York. We will visit the city. So I have a chance to meet him face to face. And I sent an e-mail to tell him that. He is very happy.
Today is very hot. I only wear a T shirt and a pair of shorts. Now I am watching a TV programme in my house. The news is about the White House. I see "Dog Days" in the top right corner of the screen. Then I say to my American friend Peter, "You Americans have many festivals, such as Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, April Fool's Day, and so on. Now dogs have their holiday, too! Is there also any 'Cat Days, Rabbit Days' in USA?"
Peter can't help laughing. He tells me, "Dog days are not a dog's holiday. It means the hottest days of summer. Dog Days have nothing to do with dogs. For example, 'Every dog has his day.' It has nothing to do with dogs, either. It means 'Everyone will have his lucky days. '"
