The Jungle Book : BR1-11

This time, I read "The Jungle Book". This story was so thrilling. This was a story of a boy who grew up in the jungle. Many animals appeared in this story, and were drown lively. This story was written by Rudyard Kipling.

Next, I will explain about this story. Many animals, for example, wolves, bears, tigers, panthers, and so on, were living in jungle. They obeyed their law and leader that was a wolf. One day, the wolves family find man baby. He was not afraid of father wolf, so they decided to grew up him because he was so brave. They named him Mowgli. However, some animals didn't want to live men, especially tiger didn't, they tried to oust him from the jungle. Some animals took him out of jungle because they were interested in a boy who live in the jungle. The others saved him hard. Mowgli grew up strongly, and bravely because of them. And then, he decided to go out from the jungle because he understood he was not a wolf, and he attempted to be a human in the village. However people saw that the boy killed a bad tiger with some wolves. They heard that the boy could talk with not human but wolves. People hated him because that thought the boy was grim. Therefore the boy returned to the jungle and everyone welcomed him.

I felt family bond in this book. Mowgli was not a wolf. However some animals treasured him. I thought even if there are no connection of blood, they could live together, like they are family, because they were connected by heart. I guess that Mowgli was happy because he was not alone. He was only a man, but not alone. His friends ventured their lives in order to rescue Mowgli. It is real love, isn't it?? I want to friends who were connected by the hearts. I will be more bravely.

My friends went this event, and we met after an interval of one years.Their looks were different a bit from my thinking. However they kept their funny characteristic, so I was relieved.We talked about our situation, our future, and so on. All of them had specific goals and study hard. I also have a goal that I really desire. We will try to do our best toward our goals.

After that, we went to karaoke in downtown. All of us like singing, so when we were high school student, we had been karaoke often. I sung a few English songs. I thought I need to practice more. We had sung for four hours, so we were little tired. However it was good time for me.

We said good-bye after we promise that we will hold swimming race next time when we meet. I am looking forward it. I think we are good friends because we can encourage each other, talk without constraint, share our feeling. I have to have a feeling of gratitude to my friends.

Dandelion

Today, I searched "dandelion". Do you know it?? It is "tanpopo" in Japanese. Dandelion is yellow flower that bloom in spring. We can see it many times, but I have never thought about it, so I decided to consult for it.

There are some English words that came from French. In 1066, Normandy who is from France conquer England. Therefore French became an official language in England at that time. This is the reason why some English come from French. Do you want to ask me why did I explain about it?? Because dandelion is one of words that came from French!!

It comes from "dents de lion", it means teeth of lion. "Dents" means teeth and pronounces it "dan", and "de" means "of". Dandelion has serrate leaves and they look like teeth of lion, so it was called dandelion.

If you find dandelions on the road, please check their leaves. You can see it like a lion's teeth!!
