e.g.Malaysia is a cornucopia of spectacular traditional performances, colourful parades as well as exquisite arts and crafts.
According to wikipedia, the cornucopia (Latin: Cornu Copiae) is a symbol of food and abundance dating back to the 5th century BC, also referred to as the food of worship and holiness, Horn of Amalthea, harvest cone, and horn of plenty.
In Greek mythology, Amalthea was a goat who raised Zeus on her breast milk, in a cave, on Mount Ida of Crete. Her horn was accidentally broken off by Zeus while playing together. The god Zeus, in remorse, gave her back her horn with supernatural powers, which would give whoever possessed it whatever they wished for. The original depictions were of the goat's horn filled with fruits and flowers: deities, especially Fortuna, were depicted with the horn of plenty. The cornucopia was also a symbol for a woman's fertility. The story is said to be a predecessor of the Unicorn and the Holy Grail stories.WANDERLUST = a strong desire to rove or to travel about
e.g. Driven by wanderlust, she moved to England to be a babysitter.
ROVE = to move around an area without a definite direction or purpose
Found in the Racetrack—an aptly named dry lake-bed, or playa—the roving rocks in Death Valley National Park have stumped scientists since the 1940s. For instance, the rocks are thought to move as fast as a walking person, but they've never been seen in action. Previous studies have shown that gravity or earthquakes can't explain the objects' movements.
