Nestled in the lush hills of Hong Kong’s New Territories, Lung Yeuk Tau thrived as a vibrant Hakka village. Each autumn, the villagers gathered for a grand harvest festival at their ancient temple, celebrating their fruitful crops with laughter, music, and traditional dishes. One year, as the festival approached, whispers spread about a mysterious figure seen wandering the hills at dusk. Some claimed it was a protective spirit, while others feared it heralded misfortune. This mix of excitement and anxiety cast a shadow over the festival preparations. Among the villagers was Mei, a spirited young woman known for her bravery. Concerned for her village, she decided to investigate the rumors. One moonlit night, lantern in hand, she ventured into the hills, her heart racing with both fear and determination. At the summit, she encountered an ethereal spirit clad in shimmering armor. The spirit, sensing her courage, warned her of an impending storm that would threaten the village’s harvest. Filled with urgency, Mei rushed back to Lung Yeuk Tau, gathering the villagers at the temple. She shared the warning, urging everyone to prepare. Inspired by her courage, the villagers worked together, securing their homes and crops, realizing their strength lay in unity. As dark clouds rolled in and fierce winds howled, they faced the storm as one, their bonds unbreakable. When dawn broke, the storm had passed, leaving behind a battered but unbroken village. The sun rose over Lung Yeuk Tau, revealing that their homes were mostly intact, thanks to the spirit’s protection. They gathered at the temple, not just to celebrate their harvest but to honor the spirit that had guided them. In the years that followed, the legend of the spirit grew. Each harvest festival, villagers lit an extra lantern in its honor, reminding them of the power of unity and the importance of courage. The spirit of Lung Yeuk Tau lived on, echoing through the hills, a testament to the strength of community.

One night, as Alden drifts into sleep, he is transported to an ancient, magical forest filled with shimmering trees and glowing fireflies. There, he encounters Griffyn, a grumpy but wise griffin who tests him with a riddle. Alden successfully answers, proving himself worthy of staying in the enchanted realm. Soon after, they meet Sylphine, a mischievous fae who seeks their help in retrieving her lost moonstone. Guided by Sylphine’s directions, Alden and Griffyn soar through the forest and arrive at a mystical clearing where the gem rests atop an ancient pedestal. However, a spectral wolf guards the treasure. Rather than fighting, Alden realizes the wolf is not an enemy but a guardian. Speaking calmly, he convinces the creature to allow Sylphine to reclaim her moonstone. In gratitude, Sylphine gifts Alden a tiny silver feather, promising it will bring him luck. As the dream fades, Alden awakens back in his bed, clutching the feather—proof that his magical adventure was real. Excited for what awaits him next, Alden knows that when he dreams again, another grand adventure will begin.

Quackers, the energetic duck, and Bao, the cuddly panda, were the best of friends. One sunny afternoon, they decided to pack a delicious picnic basket and head to the park. Quackers quacked excitedly as he gathered fresh bread, juicy apples, and a big jug of lemonade. Bao rolled around, collecting bamboo shoots, sweet honey, and a fluffy blanket. With their picnic basket in tow, they skipped and giggled their way to the park. The grass was lush and green, the flowers were blooming in vibrant colors, and the air was filled with the sound of birdsong. They found a perfect spot under a shady tree and spread out their blanket. Quackers poured the lemonade into cups, while Bao arranged the snacks. Just as they were about to dig in, they realized something was missing. 'Where's our picnic basket?' Bao asked, his eyes wide with worry. Quackers searched the ground frantically. 'It's gone! Who would have taken it?' They looked around and noticed a group of sly foxes lurking nearby. Quackers and Bao confronted the foxes, but they denied any wrongdoing. Undeterred, they decided to follow the foxes. They trailed them through a winding path and into a dark cave. There, in the center of the cave, was their missing picnic basket!

With their picnic basket safely retrieved, Quackers and Bao rushed back to the park. They spread out their blanket once again and enjoyed their well-deserved feast. As they ate their delicious snacks and sipped on their lemonade, they couldn't help but laugh at their adventure. They had solved a mystery, outsmarted the foxes, and had a wonderful picnic in the beautiful park.

Arrivés à l’hôpital, la Maman fut examinée par les docteurs. Maman, vous n’êtes qu’à 28 semaines de grossesse. Votre bébé est trop jeune pour venir au monde. Toutefois, grâce aux progrès de la médecine, nous pouvons ralentir la fréquence des contractions. Mais docteur, dit-elle de sa voix nouée, pourquoi ralentir les contractions? Parce que ce sont les contractions qui expulsent le bébé. Comme nous vous l’avons dit, votre bébé est trop petit, son organe n’est pas encore prêt pour assurer sa fonction complète si vous accouchez aujourd’hui. Nous n’avons pas la certitude que ses poumons sont arrivés à maturation. Alors comment les choses vont se dérouler, questionna le père. Nous allons tout d’abord lui donner une piqûre qui agira directement sur le bébé afin de faciliter sa respiration à l’air libre. Ensuite, nous allons mettre Maman sous perfusion afin de lui injecter le médicament qui arrêtera les contractions. Elle pourra se calmer, ainsi que le bébé jusqu’à sa naissance, dit la gynécologue. Maman, je comprends votre inquiétude, rassura la puéricultrice. Vous et le bébé êtes entre de bonnes mains. Nous disposons des équipements et du personnel qualifiés pour prendre soin de vous deux. L’équipe médicale se composait d’une gynécologue, d’une sage-femme, d’un infirmier, d’un pédiatre et d’une puéricultrice. Quant à Hito, il partit quelques instants pour acheter des nécessaires de toilettes, pour Tylaï et le bébé, une chemise de nuit, des sous-vêtements, des couches, des layettes, des bodys, des chaussettes etc… tout ce qu’ils n’eurent le temps de prendre avant de partir de la maison.
