In this story, an hourglass named Timer comes alive and is able to time travel. This is Part 5 of 6.  

Waking up at 5am, his most precious time of day when his genius flows like a mighty waterfall, Henry looked out his laboratory window and saw a magic moment: a baby chick was hatching from its egg. This was a sign, today Henry would complete his greatest invention. 

It looked like a simple household object, fairly inconspicuous, except for its futuristic black appearance. It had two chambers, one on the top and one on the bottom; the bottom was filled with yellow sand. They were connected by a narrow passage in which the sand flowed through. If an ordinary person had seen it, they would have believed it was an ordinary hourglass. 

But there was nothing ordinary about this hourglass. It was Henry’s latest attempt at engineering a time machine. 

Henry poured the remaining yellow sand into the top chamber and watched it fall to the bottom. He then tightly attached its cap. Taking a step back, Henry was overwhelmed with both exhilaration and trepidation. At that moment, a strong gust of wind came in through an open-window and scattered several documents across the floor. 

Henry flipped the hourglass and watched the yellow grains of sand travel through the narrow passage. As they hit the bottom, the grains changed to dark red. Henry looked out the window and saw the proud rising sun, a symbol of a new day. He watched as it slowly went back behind the mountains. He watched as the scattered documents flew up onto his desk and organized themselves as they previous were. He saw the baby chick return to its egg and the egg reassembled itself. 

Finally, the last grain of sand hit the bottom. Henry had traveled thirty minutes back in time.

Timer the Hourglass

みなさん、こんにちは。お元気ですか。今日も夏空（なつぞら）でいっぱいの東京です。もう暑（あつ）すぎて、ふつうに日常生活（にちじょうせいかつ）を送ることが大変な状況です。
朝と夕方には、蝉（せみ）の鳴き声（なきごえ）も聞こえてきます。
蝉は日本の夏の風物詩（ふうぶつし）です。蝉は、35度以上を超えると鳴かなくなります。なので、昼間は蝉の声が聞こえません。私が子どものころは、昼間も鳴いていたのですが、地球の気温が上がってしまったんですね。残念です。

ところで、みなさん、日本の野菜や果物が美味しいことをご存じですか。
今日、私が皆（みな）さんに紹介（しょうかい）したいのは、日本のトマトです。日本のトマトは、本当に美味（おい）しいです。ぜひ日本にいる皆さんは食べてくださいね。海外にいるみなさんは、日本に来た時に必（かなら）ず食べてください。
トマトは夏野菜です。一年中を通してトマトを食べることができますが、夏のトマトは格別（かくべつ）に美味しいです。
日本には約120種のトマトが栽培（さいばい）されていると言われています。日々、品種改良されたことによって、つぎつぎと新しい品種が生まれたのです。より甘く、よりおいしく、より食べやすくするために、研究されているんです。日本人は、野菜を生（なま）でたくさん食べます。私も生野菜が大好きです。今日食べたトマトは福島産でした。近くのショッピングモールで、福島応援フェアーがやっていたので、トマトと桃を買いました。美味しかった！！！　
絶品でした！！！
福島の農家さん、ごちそうさまでした。
