Have you guys ever heard of the tooth fairy?
Well it’s a fantasy figure that kids believe in.
When kids lose their teeth they should put them under their pillow.
The tooth will be replaced with money by the tooth fairy.
Ten dollars for a tooth! Good deal!

Animals in nature
I’m from Arkansas in the U.S. There are a lot of wild animals, and sometimes I miss being close to nature. So, when I see animals in Japan, I usually take a picture. There’s a small river near my apartment, and in the morning there are usually koi swimming around. It makes me want to go fishing. The other day I was at Magomezawa station and I saw some baby birds in a nest. Their mom was flying back and forth bringing them food. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a picture because she was too fast! In a few weeks I’m planning to go hiking somewhere on the Chiba peninsula, so I hope I can get some pictures of some other animals.

Cassette Shop
Last year, I went to a music shop that only sells cassettes and vinyl in Nakameguro. There were also a lot of cassette players and Walkmans. A lot of people really like the old technology. But I’m not a fan. My friend says that you can carry a Walkman around like a memory. You can’t really do that with a record player. I like the crackles that records create. But I’m not a fan of tape hiss. I seem to carry that memory every time I think of cassettes.

Test Book Tuesday
Reported Speech with statements that are still true now means we don’t have to change the verb to the past tense.
THEY/IT SAID :〜だと言われていた。と言う意味。例文1だと前文で、昨日の夜、犬についてのテレビ番組を見ていたら、ブルドッグをペットとして飼うのは簡単だって言っていた。 例文2では前文で沖縄の本について言ってますね！ そのため、It said that 〜は、〜と書いてありました。とゆう意味になります。 前のセンテンスで何について言っているかで訳し方は変わりますがニュアンスは同じになります。
I read the newspaper this morning. There was an article that said that we eat too much salt.
I saw a documentary last week . It said that the clothing industry is one of the worst polluters worldwide.

Dog cafe
I went to a dog cafe in Asakusa the other day. It was a pretty good 30 minutes! The dogs were running around and playing with various toys. Some of them had funny clothes on. Enjoy the photos!
