People in a small city in Ohio (in the middle of the U.S.) have a problem. A lot of wild turkeys came to the area a few weeks ago. They move around in groups of five or six. When they see someone walking on the sidewalk, they lower their heads and attack. One mail carrier cannot deliver the mail, so about 20 families have to go to the post office to pick it up. The city wants people to stop leaving bird food out, hoping that the hungry turkeys will go away. The mail carriers are also talking about delivering the mail in the evening when the turkeys aren’t around. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

I haven’t really gotten out of Nagoya to see the autumn leaves this year. Luckily, there is a university campus near my apartment with lots of trees. On Sunday, the weather was warm and sunny, so I decided to take a walk around the campus. As I was walking, I thought about the dog I used to have. I used to take Momo there almost every morning, and we would meet other dog owners. No one was walking a dog there last Sunday because it was the early afternoon. The ginkgo trees were shining in the sunlight. The leaves have started to fall, and the ground was covered in a bright yellow carpet. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
