Book Review 4

I read "The Nightingale" written by Hans Andersen this week. I have heard the name of "Nightingale", but in fact, I don't know it's bird name. I hear it's sing very beautifully.

Once there was a king who lived in a beautiful palace, and he had a very big and beautiful garden there. Many people came to the king's city, palace, and garden. But when they heard the little bird, they all said, "Nothing is as good as the nightingale." But the king don't know it at all, and he has never heard how nightingale singing. So he said want to hear and see the nightingale. He called his head servant to take the nightingale for him. So the servants asked little girl who was helping to cook the king's food. She knows it very well. Finally, they found the nightingale, and they asked for it to sing in the king's palace. The little nightingale sang so beautifully that the king began to cry, and so everyone began to cry. The king and everybody were so happy then. One day someone brought a box to the king. Inside, it was a nightingale that someone had made, but it could sing and looked more beautiful, its body was covered with jewels. But one little living nightingale had gone out of the open window. The king was so sad, and artificial nightingale were not sing.

After five years, the king became ill, and people thought he's not going to live. And the king was also think he's going to die. Then a beautiful song came through the window. It was the little nightingale who lived in the wood. The king was so glad and he thanked for it very much. And then, he gradually became fine.

Busy day

Today I had a part time job, and it was very busy. Many people came to there, and I had a hectic day at my workplace. I was pushed for time :) Usually I'm working from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm, but today was very busy, so I couldn't finish my work by 9:00 pm. I could finish 10:00 pm over, so now I feel very sluggish.
And it's vain talk, recently I go to work by bicycle not motor bicycle. It's quite good exercise for me, although it takes only ten minutes over. I think I need more exercise, or I have to go on a diet. Does anyone knows good ways for diet??

Book Review 3

I read "The Ugly Duckling" written by Hans Andersen this week. It's called "Minikui Ahirunoko" in Japanese. Of course, I have read this book before written in Japanese. It's quite famous story, and very interesting for me. And it's written by easy words, so it's not so hard to read.

One day some ducklings were born in very beautiful country. They were all pretty ducklings, but only one was different from others. He is very big and ugly duckling. Because of he was ugly, no one wanted to speak to him or to go near him. Even his mother, brothers and sisters were not kind to him. It makes him so sad, so he ran out of his hometown.

Later, he met some geese, and they said to him "We like you." But they died by shooting guns. And then, he met some people and animals, but they all not so kind. He had very hard times.

After the time, he was bigger than before, and he could fly high up in the sky. Then he saw beautiful white swans, and thought "I'll go to them, but I'm so ugly so they'll kill me." But he wanted to go with them, so he put his head down near the water, and he saw...! He saw his own body, it was not the body of a fat, ugly duckling. In fact, he had come from a swan's egg. He is very young and beautiful swan!

So now, he getting along with some beautiful swans and little children. He is the most beautiful and popular swan, everybody said so.

About Kumamoto

I was born and grew up in Kumamoto. So I like Kumamoto very much, and here quite comfortable place for me. There are some famous and good places in Kumamoto, like Kumamoto Castle, Mt. Aso, Suizenji Park...and some others.

I have been to these places before, but recently, I haven't visit there. I often visited Aso when I was little. I like Aso, because there still has a rich natural environment, and very beautiful place. If you visit there, maybe you can relax and feel refreshed. I do want to visit there again in the near future. In fact, I don't know so much about Kumamoto Castle >_<>
My favorite place in Kumamoto is Lake Ezu. It's very close to my house, I can go there about two or three minutes by walk. Recently, I often go for a stroll there, and view the lake. It's one of my favorite things or like hobbies. I also like feed the ducks there. When I go for a stroll there, I often take a crust. They are very cute ^^
There really beautiful and interesting place I think, please visit there when you want to relax. It's very good way**

I know one more place, it's Mt. Kinpo. I visited there the other day, and saw very very beautiful night view with friend. I wanted to take pictures, but I forgot to do it :) Many people have visited there before, but I saw such view for the first time, so I was sooo moving. Fortunately, The weather was good,
so we could see very clearly. I want to go there again

Captain Wolf

I watched "Captain Wolf" the other day. I wanted to watch this for a long time, so I am very satisfied now ＾＾ This movie's leading actor is Vin Diesel, he is one of my favorite Hollywood actor. I think he has very good and cool acting skills. The children who is character of this movie, were very cute and their performance was so good. This movie is like a comedy, but very heart-warming story. I do want to recommend this many people. Please watch this!!

Favorite Book

My favorite book is "Narisokonai Oji" written by Shinichi Hoshi. He is one of my favorite Japanese writer, and of course, he is very famous in Japan. His books are all interesting, and easy to read. I have read some his books till now, and I could read it in a flash. I think many people like his books.
There are twelve short stories in this book, and I like "Narisokonai Oji" which is the title of this book the best. It's from some main characters of fairy tales, funny and a little strange parody. Get over time and space, we can enjoy reading fantastic stories.
I seldom read books, even comic recently. It's quite good things to read many kinds of books. I don't like so much very very long and fat books, it's hard to read. But I will or want to try read books from now on, even very short one is ok first.
