Speaker 1: Actually, this is a different kind of fast. It's not
Speaker 1: about running quickly.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 3: Fast also means not eating or drinking.
Speaker 4: Not eating or drinking. Why would anybody do that?
Speaker 1: Well, people fast during the many days of Ramadan so
Speaker 1: they can spend extra time doing nice things for others,
Speaker 1: thinking quietly and feeling grateful.
Speaker 3: But little kids don't usually fast.
Speaker 1: Fasting means not eating. Yep, and guess what I learned
Speaker 1: for Ramadan? People fast when the sun goes up all
Speaker 1: the way until it gets dark.

Speaker 1: things they like to do.
Speaker 3: Holidays have tons of traditions.
Speaker 1: Like eating special foods yep, and other things too.
Speaker 4: What other things?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: During Easter, kids hunt all around for hidden Easter eggs.
Speaker 3: That's a tradition.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And during Passover kids hunt all around for a hidden
Speaker 1: piece of mazzo called the afi coma.
Speaker 4: That's another tradition, different but kind of similar. Yeah. Cool.
Speaker 1: Ramadan also has a tradition that's just for kids. It's
Speaker 1: not a hunting game, though, what is it? In some
Speaker 1: countries in the middle of Ramadan, kids put on special
Speaker 1: clothes and.
Speaker 3: Walk through the neighborhoods singing songs. Then everyone gives them candy.
Speaker 3: It's called Garghian.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: That that's fun.
