You seldom go to the sightseeing places in your hometown. It’s only when someone comes to visit you from out of town that you go to see these places. My younger daughter, who lives in the U.S., came back last week for a visit. On Sunday, we went to Nagoya Castle. I hadn’t been there in years. A lot has changed. The city has rebuilt the Honmaru Palace that was destroyed in World War II. It is a beautiful, wooden palace full of golden painted screens. Outside, people dressed up as ninja and samurai guided tourists and posed for photos. I felt like I was in Kyoto, not Nagoya. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Someone I know told me about a friend who was suffering from depression . He kept away from people for several years. None of his friends could do anything to help him. Then his psychologist suggested that he keep a cat. He followed the psychologist’s advice and went to a pet shop. As soon as he went into the shop, he fell in love with one cat. He decided to buy the cat, and since then, he has been getting better. Now he doesn’t suffer from depression and has started to work part-time. Cat therapy seems to have worked. （by a reader)
