*****************************
In a park, a woman was sitting on a bench, and a dog was also sitting next to the bench. A man came up to the woman and asked, ‘Does your dog bite?’ She said, ‘No.’ However, when the man was about to touch the dog, it bit him. He said, ‘Hey! You said your dog doesn’t bite! You lied to me!’ She said, ‘I didn’t lie. My dog doesn’t bite, but that’s not my dog.’ (written by student Miss Tamura, edited by Professor Douglas Jarrell)

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)
