Founder of Labor Day
More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.

夜晚的小镇景色是秀丽的。灯光是这个长夜的主角。街道上,路灯散发出耀眼的光芒,为这个小镇舞台披上了一层金色的衣裳,路旁的`霓虹灯宛如七色的彩带,为原本已经金灿灿的舞台再缀上风采。高楼上的灯火也不甘落后,将这个舞台裹得满满的,灯火辉煌,犹如一颗璀璨的明珠。
夜晚的小镇热闹的。不知不觉中,路边停满了车辆。街道旁,有卖水果的,有卖小吃的,有卖小宠物的……摊子上围满了一批又一批的人,吸引了许许多多的顾客。人行道上,一颗颗大树被风吹得沙沙响,好像也在自得其乐。小狗们欢腾了,活蹦乱跳,像是给谁助威。人行道上,一棵棵大树被吹得沙沙响,好像也在自得其乐。小狗们欢腾了,活蹦乱跳,像是在给谁助威。人们更是热闹的不得了,一大批人将人行道挤得水泄不通还拎着大包小包。广场上,更是人山人海:有的在跳舞,看她们舞步翩翩,犹如天使一般;有的在晚练,矫健的身姿,犹如在赛场上屡屡摘金夺银的健儿;有的在追逐打闹,天真可爱。
夜晚的小镇更是安静的。透过薄薄的云层,月光洒在了道路上,替代了那万家烟火。在窗内,那一盏盏明灯,一闪一闪的,慢慢地熄灭。店铺内的日光灯,店名上的霓虹灯,也将要灭掉。车停了,人少了,几乎所有人都回到自己的家。路旁的大树不摇了,树叶发出的“沙——沙——”声不见了。整个小镇披上了一层薄薄的雾,增添了一份别样的神秘。静下来了,一切都静了下来,陷入了宁静……
夜晚的小镇是多么美,谁不爱呢?
