You are encouraged to throw (tomato) in the fight. There are many stories about how the festival began. One of the stories (go) that during the 1940's, some friends started a tomato fight, while another story is about a local band. Anyway, everyone in Bunol seems (have) a different story. Before the tomato fight, there are parades(游行), musical bands, street parties and so on.
On the day of the fight, shopkeepers cover (they) windows and doors in order to (keep) away from the tomato fight. At the same time, (thousand) of tourists and local people come to the town square together. Then large trucks(卡车)full of tomatoes arrive.

Everyone is supposed to (obey) a small number of rules: You must squash(压烂) the tomato before (throw) it and you are allowed to throw nothing but tomatoes.
It is usually over in less than half an hour. Everyone then sets off to the river to clean up. It sounds fun!
