The birthday is a special day for most people. We may spend much time celebrating it. On that day, we may go for a trip, have a party or watch a movie with our parents and friends. We can also enjoy some special food. Do you know what people eat on their birthdays around the world? Here are three people from different countries. They tell us what food they eat on their birthdays.
Liu Jing is from Beijing. "The long noodles are a symbol of long life. In China, red is a symbol of luck. We think red eggs bring us good luck. So you can see Chinese eat long noodles and red eggs when they celebrate their birthdays," says Liu Jing.
"I am so happy because today is my birthday. I want to have a birthday party. At the party, we can play games, sing and dance. We can also eat a big birthday cake with fifteen candles. I'm sure we can have a good time at my birthday party," says David from America.
"In Canada, people put a coin(硬币) into the cake. If the birthday person eats the cake with the coin, he or she will be lucky. I am so happy because I eat the cake with the coin," says Sandy.
