Here are two stories about food from different readers.

Reader 1:　While I was walking on a hot day this summer, I saw a crow fly past and drop something white on the road. I went to see what it was. To my　surprise it was a big rice ball. That day was too hot to have lunch outside, so I wonder where the crow got the rice ball.

Reader 2: I was working in my field and got wet in the rain. I went back home in my wet clothes and took a shower. Then I ate a quarter of a watermelon that I got from a relative. It was very sweet. Fortunately, it didn’t spoil my dinner. (edited by Professor Douglas Jarrell)

Notes:
bungee jumping バンジージャンプ;
guardrail  (道路などの)ガードレール;

********************
When my English teacher and I were talking about the most dangerous thing that happened to us until now, I answered “It was bungee jumping from a bridge in New Zealand.” Actually it was not so dangerous. I was just very nervous. However, since I have had a car accident, I can say that the car accident was the most dangerous thing that has happened to me! Fortunately, nobody was injured; my car was just damaged a little bit. If there had been no guardrail… I was so lucky! No guardrail, no life… (written by student Miss Kanda, edited by Professor Douglas Jarell)
