One who waits patiently will catch a big fish.
Japanese ProverbIn the asian culture Koi (Carp) is a symbol of the strength, courage and patience. As one Chinese story says, a carp which courageously climbed up the waterfalls was turned into a dragon. That is why on Children’s Day (May 5th), families with boys fly carp-shaped flags and wish for boys to grow strong and brave like a carp.
So print this beautiful May 2013 calendar with red Koi carps swimming among the sakura petals and be strong and patient.
