The dead return
A Festival for the Dead is held once a year in Japan. This festival is a cheerful occasion, for on this day, (1)___________________. As they are expected to be hungry after their long journey, food is laid out for them. (2)___________________. All night long, people dance and sing. In the early morning, the food that had been laid out for the dead is thrown into a river or into the sea as it is considered unlucky for anyone living to eat it.

This is a moving spectacle, for crowds of people stand on the shore watching the lanterns drifting away until they can be seen no more.
