Po's New Year
Li Po sat down on a stool. He was tired. He had been helping clean the house. His mother said they were sweeping away last year's bad luck.
Po was not too sure about that. He had looked at the dirt. It only looked like dirt. What did bad luck look like?
The boy did not sit very long. His grandmother had more work for him to help do.
When they were finally done, Grandmother put the broom and dustpan away. "We have swept away all the bad luck," she said to Po. "We do not want to sweep away good luck, too, so we put them away."
Mother was in the kitchen making supper. He liked to watch his mother prepare the meal.
