Today’s story きょうの あらすじ
The sun was so strong during the day that I decided to wait until evening cooled down to go shopping. Thinking it had finally cooled, I got ready and stepped out of my building — and rain was coming down as if a bucket had been overturned. Leaving my own room the sky had looked only a little dim, yet by the time the elevator reached the ground floor the rain was extraordinary. I gave up on shopping, went back, and made do with whatever was in the fridge. Tomorrow is busy, but now I have to go.
