"Aesop's Fables"--week9

Hello, everyone! We had a holiday in this Friday. It was so good for me to relax. Did you have a good holiday? If you had a good time, please tell me about it. And, I’ll introduce about the story of “Aesop’s Fables”. Today’s story is “Jupiter and Camel” Do you know this story? I think that this story is not famous in Japan, so many people didn’t know. However, it was interesting story, too.

First, this story’s characters are Jupiter and Camel. One day, the Camel asked Jupiter to grant him horns because he must put up with the abuse of all animals have horns who insults him. However, Jupiter was angry, because, the Camel was endowed with his own unique qualities. Of course, Camel didn’t notice it. This story tells us, “by asking for too much, we may lose the title that we once had.” It is important, but we sometimes forget it, so we try to get all that we could. We must keep our features, because it is only one for us!

Thank you for reading my article! :)

I’m looking forward to seeing you on my next article.

 Have a good weekend!

 

"Aesop's Fables"--week8

Hi, everyone!! I think that many people had a warring, because we had to decide classes of next year. It is important to think about classes, so it is difficult. By the way, I read the “Aesop’s Fables” in this week, too. I was fascinated by this book. His stories teach me something and the stories have many animals as characters. I want to introduce all stories that I read. However, I would like to introduce about the story of “The Country Mouse and The Town mouse” today. Do you know story?

First, a town mouse came to the house of a country mouse. The country mouse gave a warm reception to the town mouse, but he couldn’t understand about the country life. Therefore, he invited the country mouse to his house in the town. The country mouse moved the cooking that he hasn’t seen at first. After a short time, a group of revelers came to his room, so they must hide a hole. After all, the country mouse couldn’t eat the dinner. And he thought his life is nice even if he couldn’t eat the dinner. He can eat a meal with composure. I think that this country mouse is able to live in the town if he is used to living. Also, the town mouse can live the country, too. However, if we know about handy goods, it is difficult for us to forget them. For example, we couldn’t live without computer, cell-phone, TV, a refrigerator and so on. These items are important for our life, but we must rely on these items too much.

Have a good weekend!!!

 

"Aesop's Fables"--week7

Hello! Everyone!! In this week, I couldn’t try to read “ANDERSEN’S FAIRY TALES”, so I tried to read the other book. The name of the book is “AESOP’S FABLES”. And this book was written by Aesop. Also, my book was edited by Jack Zipes. “AESOP’S FABLES” is famous in Japan. Also it is easier than “ANDERSEN’S FAIRY TALES”. Because of this, “AESOP’S FABLES” has short stories. Therefore, I read fifteen stories in this week. It was so interesting! However, I couldn’t introduce about all stories that I read, so I would like to introduce about one of my favorite stories.

The title of my favorite story is “The Ants and the Grasshopper”. It is famous in Japan, too. When I was in kinder garden, I watched the story in my house. Of course, it wasn’t English. After I knew this story, I decided to try hard. Main characters of this story are ants and a grasshopper. And the ants were hard workers. They always worked hard if it was burning hot, because they needed to proper for the winter days. However, the grasshopper always sang and spent elegant time. It was long before, winter has come. Ants and the grasshopper couldn’t catch foods, but ants had no problems, because they had enough foods. As you know, the Grasshopper hadn’t foods, so he asked ants to give some foods. Ants hadn’t food except for their family’s foods. “Idleness brings want”. This ward is very shocking, isn’t it? However, I think that it is real, so not to be the grasshopper, I want to proper for my future. If I have an opportunity, I’ll introduce other story.

"Andersen's fairy tales"--week6

Hello! Everyone!! Did you have a nice weekend? I went to a festival of my friend’s college, and I had a pleasant weekend. Also, I read six short stories in “ANDERSEN’S FAIRY TALES”. For example, I read “The Little Match Girl” in this week. This story is famous in Japan, so I think many people know this story. And this story is so miserable. Some people think that a model of the little match girl is Andersen’s mother, because his mother spent poor girl days.

Next, I read “The Jumpers”, “The Drop of Water”, “The Happy Family” and “The Collar”. These stories were not difficult, and these are really short stories. Therefore, I recommend these stories if you don’t have time.

Finally, I would like to introduce about “The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep”. This story’s main character is doll. And the shepherdess that made of ceramic ware and the chimney sweep that made of ceramic ware were fallen in love with each other. However, they had a rival, and the rival was allowed by father of the shepherdess to marry with her. Of course, other characters are all dolls. It’s interesting to solve the problem, so I want you to read this story. If you have an opportunity, please try to read this story!
