My daughter made the race hot.

My daughter's school field day was held today.

Yesterday, she gave me a letter of invitation of the field day.

The invitation was written that she would do her best at the program of her short truck race, and that she wanted her family to come and to watch her 50-meter race.

My wife said to me, "She told me that she was always the slowest girl of her race group". "So I advised her how to run fast", she said.

Today, I went to her school with my wife, my mother, and my little daughter to see her race.

She raced with six students. She did her best to become fifth of six at her race! We said each other, “She really has done good job, hasn't she?”

It was hot autumn day.

The Lion Sleeps Tonight

I came home from my office at 22:00, and whispered to my wife, "I'm home".

My wife was sleeping.

I said again, "I'm home."

She was still sleeping.

"I'm home!! I’m hungry!"

"You're! I know!"

She said and slept again.

After all, my mother made for me a dinner.

When I finished having the salty dinner and got up to the second floor, she got up at last.

I said sarcastically to her "Good morning!”

She said to me "Good night", and began sleeping again.

Yesterday was her birthday. The lion sleeps tonight.

22時に職場から家について、妻にささやいた。“ただいま”

妻は寝ていた。

もう一度言った。“ただいま”

妻はまだ寝ていた。

“ただいま！　おなかすいた！”

“わかってるって！”

と言って妻はまた眠ってしまった。

結局、母親が夕飯の用意をしてくれた。

しょぼい夕飯を食べ終わって２回に上がったら、ようやく妻が起きてきた。

妻に皮肉を込めて“おはよう”　と言ったら、

彼女は“おやすみ”と言ってまた眠りだした。

昨日は妻の誕生日。ライオンは寝ている。

Spring phone

I made a spring phone with my two daughters and my mother at the science museum in the next-door city.

The director of the museum, who was my teacher of homeroom and physics at the high school, had told me that he was teaching children in their summer vacation to make some of scientific toys at the museum when we had a same class meeting for the first time in 20 years 1 week ago.

I felt nostalgia when I came into the room of the museum and saw the letters written by the teacher on the black board.

There were about 20 people in the room, and he energetically taught us how to make the phone.

The spring phone we made was a kind of echo machine, which was made of a paper cup, a spring, and an empty PET bottle.

I hear the echo sound when I speak to it.

My daughters seemed to enjoy making it and playing with it.

We had a good time.

隣の市にある科学博物館で2人の娘と母親と一緒にばね電話を作りました。

博物館の館長は、高校時代の私のクラス担任で物理の教師でしたが、一週間前に20年ぶりに開いた同級会で、科学博物館で夏休みの子供たちにいくつかの科学玩具を作ることを教えていると私にお話くださいました。

部屋に入り、黒板に書かれた先生の文字を見た時、私は郷愁を感じました。　　　　

部屋には約20人がいましたが、先生は、エネルギッシュに作り方を教えてくれました。

　 私たちが作ったばね電話は一種のエコー・マシンで、それは、紙コップ、ばねおよび空のPETボトルで出来ていました。

話しかけると、エコー音が聞こえました。

娘たちは、それを作り、かつそれで遊ぶのを楽しんでいたようでした。

楽しい一時でした。
