First Birthday

In Korea on a baby’s first birthday is really special. First, parents put things like money,  thread, and pencils in front of their baby. After that, parents make their baby choose one  thing. If the baby picks up the money, it means he or she is going to be rich. Choosing  the thread means a long life for the baby, and choosing a pencil means he or she is going

to be a good student. It’s kind of myth, but people believe it until now. In my case, I didn’t have any

ceremony of my first birthday, so I am interested in that myth. I think nowadays, people don’t think first birthday is important as it was in the past.
