On this day，Japanese boys eat a special kind of rice cake. It is covered with a leaf and filled with bean paste (豆醬)．Children love to eat it. And eggs on leaves are another traditional food.

Girl's Day is the girl's festival on March 3. It is also called the Doll's Festival because on that day，families get a set of dolls at home for their daughters. It is celebrated because the parents want their daughters to be strong and healthy.

The soldier was too weak to continue, so Lincoln signed the letter for him and added, “Written for your son by Abraham Lincoln.”The young man asked to see the note and was astonished when he discovered who had written it.“Are you really the President？”he asked. “Yes, I am，”replied Lincoln quietly.Then he asked if there was anything else he could do.“Would you please hold my hand？”asked the soldier.“It will help to see me through to the end.”
