00:53That's a good job.

00:55Yes!

00:56Boom!

00:57Boom!

01:00Good job.

01:01Keep it up.

01:03You're good.

01:04I'm happy.

01:06Papa won't get mad.

01:08That's right.

01:09Papa will get mad at us.

01:11Idiot.

01:13You know,

01:15just remember this.

01:18Your Tito,

01:20handsome Tito Jacky,

01:22whatever score you get,

01:24I'm proud of you.

01:25Perfect.

01:26Yes, I'm proud of you.

01:27But even if it's 99,

01:2997,

01:30even 80,

01:31just remember,

01:32I'm proud of you.

01:33Just don't get a zero.

01:35I promise.

01:36Yes.

01:37I promise.

01:38Don't get a zero.

01:39Yes.

01:44Rawr! Rawr! Rawr!

01:46Beautiful.

01:47Beautiful.

01:50That's not a zero.

01:52That's perfect.

01:54Did you memorize your speech?

01:56Of course.

01:57Performing the lion dance

01:59in festivals and celebrations

02:01brings good luck

02:02and drives away evil spirits.

02:05That's great.

02:06Sounds like a commercial, right?

02:08I can be an artist, right?

02:10Yes, you can.

02:11You can.

02:12Wait,

02:13do you know your grandfather's story?

02:15Your grandfather Tito,

02:16about Tito?

02:18What's that?

02:19I haven't told you yet.

02:20I haven't.

02:22Back in the day,

02:24every new year,

02:25he would come to the villages

02:27to eat the animals,

02:29people,

02:30and children like you.

02:32Until people discovered

02:34that he was afraid of

02:36bright lights,

02:37color red,

02:39and loud noises.

02:41And do you know what else they discovered?

02:43That creature was afraid of lions.

02:46So,

02:47since then,

02:48people have become lions' companions

02:50to drive away that bad creature.

02:52And that's where the lion dance began.

02:57Dancing with the lion-dragon

02:59also symbolizes our friendship

03:01with the dragon, right?

03:02So that it won't think

03:04that it's being driven away,

03:06you can just dance with it.

03:10Since then,

03:12lions have become our friends

03:15to drive away the dragon,

03:17that creature.

03:19And that's where the lion dance began.

03:25That's where it began.

03:29Dancing with the lion-dragon

03:32also symbolizes our friendship

03:34with the dragon.

03:35Because, of course,

03:36who would want to be driven away?

03:38So instead of driving away the dragon,

03:40we can just dance with it.

03:42That's friendship.

03:43That's right.

03:49Thank you for watching!
