If the wind comes, swim with it.
Children's Day is the Boys' Festival in early May. Carp streamers fly when there's wind.
the carp streamer waits for wind, then swims across the sky
Today is Children's Day in Japan, also known as the Boys' Festival. Families fly carp-shaped streamers and eat rice cakes wrapped in oak leaves.
A carp streamer swims across the sky when the wind blows. On still days, it hangs quietly near the bottom of the pole. Even carp streamers have days when they'd like to swim and can't.
Today is a good day. If the wind picks up, go with it. If it doesn't, have a rice cake and wait.
