Today’s story きょうの あらすじ
Even the cicadas' singing, which I could still faintly hear when I came back from Thailand, can't be heard at all anymore. The morning air is cool, and it's a very pleasant time for walking. That sunshine, which was so hot and muggy, is gone now. Along the roadside, cosmos, an autumn flower, were blooming. From now on, the season will get more and more comfortable. Autumn for sports, autumn for reading, and autumn for appetite. Time passes in the blink of an eye, so to avoid wasting it, I'm going to move my body, read books, and enjoy lots of delicious food.
