BR01-14: The Magic Porridge Pot

This story is about hungry Hannah, an old woman, a greedy boy, a magic pot and a LOT of porridge. (p,2,3)

I think children will like this story because it is so cute and interesting story. This story's heroin, Hannah, met an old woman and she was given a pot from an old woman. This pot can full of porridge when someone say the magic words. Hannah was told it from an old woman and she didn't worried about hungry. However a greedy boy stole this pot. He thinks he want to eat a lot of porridge. However he didn't know the magic words which stop making porridge. He couldn't stop and Hannah stopped it. A greedy boy never steel it from that incident. I like this type's story because at the end of it, there is happy end only. I want all of children to learn everything from this Usborne series.

BR01-13: Why the sea is salty

Long ago, the sea wasn't salty like it is today. Once, it tasted sweet. (p,3)

This story is very interesting for me and I like it. The main thing of this story is the millstone. It can make gold and jewels or special spices or whatever the king asked for. This is king's millstone but a thief heard about it and he stolen it from the palace. Since I was a child, I have been thought why the sea is salty. I don't know whether this story is true but I think this story will give for children a lot of dream. If you want to know why the sea is salty because of the millstone, you should read it.

BR01-12: The Inch Prince

Once upon a time, there was a little old man and a little old woman. (p,2)

I have read this story when I was three years old. It is Japanese ancient story and I like it. This story is involved fantasy but after read it, my heart was warmed. The best words which impressed me is " Small things can be special." It was said by the emperor. I like this words. I can't understand last part of this story which hammer granted Issy's wish but I like fantasy, too. If you want to read Japanese ancient story again, you should read Usborne series.

BR01-11: Stone soup

Once, there was a poor man. (p,2)

First I think this poor man is so smart. However it is trick so I don't feel good job. This story's main is poor man say he can make soup from a stone. In fact, he can't make it. He tricked woman and let her to popped a lot of food in hot water. However, woman didn't notice it, she thought this stone is really great. I think it is bad for woman. I think poor man should be grateful to woman. However, poor man could escape from hunger, so I think he is so smart. This book is Usborne series, so you can find it in KGU library.

BR01-10: Monkeys

Monkeys come in lots of different sizes and they live all over the world. (p.12)

I have heard that human comes from monkeys. I don't know whether it is really or not but monkeys which wrote this book are really similar to human habits. There are a lot of kinds of monkeys and according to this book, macaque monkeys are sit in hot water to keep warm in winter. I think this habit is similar to human. Also, this book says monkeys make faces to tell each other how they feel. I think it is similar to human, too. This book is so interesting for me to know about monkeys. If you want to know about monkeys, you can read this book more easily.

My favorite app

Recently, I started to use Instagram, which is iPhone app. I like take picture and my favorite artist using it so I began. This app is so interesting and I often post a picture in a day. First picture is sunset. I thought I could take it so beautiful. Second picture is rain cloud and I took it yesterday. I took both picture at the same place. I want to take more beautiful picture than that.

Rain!!!!!!!!

Today's weather is so bad!! It is rainy!! All of weather in Kyu-syu is rainy. I heard Nagasaki station submerged. I feel it is Rainy Season, in Japanese, it is "Tsuyu". I don't like rainy season because air is so bad and we must have umbrella. However, rainy season's temperature is a little low so I like it a little. 

By the way, Japanese government held the extraordinary cabinet meeting and they decided to permit the exercise of the right of collective self-defense by changing the interpretation of Article 9 of the Constitution. I think what are they doing. I can't help thinking that they want to do war. I can't believe Japanese government. Where is our future? We may die before 30 birthday. If we have children, we may have to send them to war. I think whether it is really good for Japan.
