Paul:I need to go to the bank。

Jenny:But they’re all closed today。

Paul:Closed? Are you kidding? What is it, some kind of holiday today?

Jenny:Have you already forgotten? What’s the date today?

Paul:It’s... Oh, it’s the first of April. April Fool’s Day!

Jenny:You forgot all about it, didn’t you?

Paul:Sort of, but it has reminded me of at least one thing I need to remember。

Jenny:What’s that?

Paul:Tomorrow is my wife’s birthday。

Jenny:Better not forget that, she’ll kill you if you don’t get her something. It’s pretty strange that your wife’s birthday changes every year. Why is that?

Paul:My wife is a Chinese. She celebrates her birthday according to the lunar calendar。

Jenny:Ah, I got it。

Paul:It’s quite exotic for me to celebrate a birthday according to the lunar calendar. It’s so different than our culture. I guess that makes life interesting to have different cultures come together and coexist.
