| Diary: June 5,2023 I was very sad to hear what happened to Woollie yesterday. Woollie was my favorite sheep. I have a storybook about Woollie. It says when Woollie was four, he ran away from Mr. Armstrong’s farm, and it took Mr. Armstrong six years to find Woollie. But Woollie had grown so much fleece that he didn’t even look like a sheep. Mr. Armstrong decided to cut his fleece on TV so everyone could see. Daddy said this happened on the day I was born. Woollie’s fleece weighed 27 kg, and could make clothes for 20 large men. I asked Daddy if his favorite vest was made from Woollie’s fleece. Daddy said no, because Woollie’s fleece was sold to collect money for sick kids. In the storybook, Woollie was taken to see Ms. Clark, the leader of our city then. They even had tea together. Daddy said Woollie was put down because he was too sick and there was no way to help him. I cried. I hope Woollie will be happy up there in the sky. |

Crossing-the-bridge rice noodles is a very famous dish in Yunnan. When you eat crossing-the-bridge rice noodles, you are served with a big bowl of hot chicken soup, some uncooked meat and vegetables, and of course a bowl of rice noodles.
It is recorded that during the Qing dynasty, a scholar (书生) from Mengzi city, Yunnan province, needed to prepare for imperial exams (科举考试). To study hard for the exams, he decided to go to a small and quiet house on the island on Nanhu Lake. The scholar had a loving wife who brought meals to him every day. Because of a far distance, including crossing a long bridge, the food always got cold when she arrived. One day, the wife brought chicken soup and rice noodles to him. When she got there, she found that the chicken soup was still hot. After putting the rice noodles and other things into the soup, she found it tasted very delicious. So she started bringing separated chicken soup, rice noodles, and other things to the house and mixed them after arriving. Soon this way of cooking became popular around the city. People named the dish “crossing-the-bridge rice noodles” in memory of its inventor.
