"Aesop's Fables" --week15

Hi! How are you? It’s my final blog in this semester. Do you believe? I can’t believe it. It is difficult for me to update blogs every week. However, I enjoyed updating my blog with some pictures. And it’s interesting to read old articles.

By the way, I’ll introduce the “Venus and the Cat”. This story’s main character is a cat. The cat isn’t normal, because she fell in love with a young man. And she prayed to Venus to change her into a girl. Venus gave her a chance, the cat become a girl. The young man fell in love with the cat changed a girl. And the Venus tested her to see if she would be human. She gave her a mouse. As a result, the cat couldn’t control her feeling. The story said me “Try as one may, it is impossible to deny one’s nature.” However, I think that human can change the mind. It’s not easy to change their selves, but it’s not impossible. Therefore, I want to try finding my real sense.

The “Aesop’s Fables” has many interesting stories. However, I couldn’t introduce all stories. Therefore, please read these stories, if you have an opportunity. You’ll get the vitality after reading the book.

Thank you for reading my article for a long time. And I was glad to find your comments, but I’m sorry that I couldn’t reply comments.

See you!  Have a good day!!!

"Aesop's Fables" --week14

Hello, everyone!

Happy winter vacation has been over. It means the week of exam is just around the corner. It’s unbelievable that I must study for these exams.

In this week, I read some stories in “Aesop’s Fables”. And I found an interesting story the title is “The Maid and The Pail of Milk”. The main character was the maid. She was carrying the pail of milk and daydreaming. She wanted to get much money and buy new dress. She imaged about the color of the dress. It is interesting, because, she has not carried the pail of milk. Finally, she dropped the pail of milk and her dream vanished. A lesson of this story is “It is never wise to count your chickens before they hatch.” There is a proverb that is same meaning in Japan. However, I can’t hate the country maid, because it is hard to hate her. And I’ll pay attention when I may get the happiness. She is so cute, but I don’t want to be her.  Thank you for reading my article! :)

Have a nice weekend!!!

Happy New Year!!

And I’m sorry that my blog’s update is late.

By the way, have you spent good time in this winter vacation? I had good time, so I’m looking forward to meeting you. However, I’m sad the vacation will end.

And today, I’ll introduce about the story of “The comedian and the farmer”. I think it is rare in the “Aesop’s Fables”, because main character is human in this story.

A wealthy patrician publicly offered a prize to anyone who could perform something unique. When the people heard his news, the theater could barely hold the number of specters who came to see the spectacles. And the comedian appeared alone. Next, he thrust his head into his bosom and imitated squalling of young pig. Specters had doubts about that he has a pig under his cloak, but nothing could be found. A farmer was in the audience, and he thought “Oh, I can do better than that!” Next day, he tried to do. At first, the comedian grunted away, and his performance was received with great clapping. Then the farmer tried it, he had concealed a little pig under the clothes and pinched its ear. Finally, the comedian noticed that it isn’t real. He showed clearly his lie and he said “You can decide for yourselves what sad judges you make!” this story thought us “It is easier to convince a man against his senses than again his will.”

In this year, I want to live without evil lie.

Thank you for reading my article! :)

Have a good vacation!!!
