¡i©ú³ø±M°T¡jThe Smarties are close to each other like siblings. Pat and MoMo are making something for their "brothers" with which they will celebrate the Indian Rakhi festival (¦L«×¥S©f¸`).

¡§ Pat: How difficult it is to hide anything from Dr Panda or Bill! ¡¨

¡§ MoMo: We have to keep it secret until August. ¡¨

¡§ Eason: Your two pretty buddies are leaving you so that they can form "New Smarties" with me! ¡¨

¡§ Bill: That's impossible! ¡¨

¡§ Dr Panda: Are you hiding anything from us? ¡¨

¡§ Bill: Don't go... Please... ¡¨

¡§ MoMo: It's too early to let you know... but we are learning to make bracelets so that we can celebrate Rakhi together with you. ¡¨

¡§ Pat: You are like our brothers! We should never be apart! ¡¨

¡½Culture tips

Raksha Bandhan, or simply Rakhi, is one of the most important festivals in India. It celebrates brotherhood and love. It falls on August every year. In the festival, a girl traditionally ties a rakhi (a bracelet made of interwoven red and golden threads) around her brother's wrist to mark their relationship. It is believed that, when a woman ties a rakhi around a man's wrist, it becomes obligatory for him to do his religious duties and protect her. Today rakhis are given also to close friends.

"-hood" is a suffix used to form a noun that indicates a condition or a state or a collection or group.
