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.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は、旅行の話をしようと思います。
皆さんは、旅行に行く時、何をメインにしますか？
例えば、食べ物ですか？
建物を見ることですか？美術館に行くことですか？
自然を見ることですか？その地域の人に会うことですか？

旅行にはいろんな目的がありますね。
僕にとっての旅行が最近少し変わってきました。

最近とても興味があるのは歴史ですね。
へー日本だと個人的には、北海道が歴史的にもとても面白い場所だと思います。
オススメです。
海外で旅行に行く時も今は歴史的な場所を探すのが1番の目的ですね。

実は前にも言ったかもしれないですけど、2月の後半にドイツとオランダに旅行に行く予定があります。

ドイツは僕が知っている中では歴史的な場所が多いですね。
ですので、見る場所がたくさんあるように感じます。

でもオランダは、僕は歴史をあまり知りません。
ですので、思ってたよりも行く場所が見つかりません。
こう言うと、オランダに興味がないように聞こえますが、そうではなくて、知らないだけなんです。

付け足すと、オランダに行きたいのは、観光というより、住む場所として見に行きたい、ということですね。自分たちがここで生活したいと思うかは、行ってみないとわからないです。ですので、行って確かめてみたいと思います。

旅行の話はおもしろいので、また話しますね。

みなさんの旅行の話も聞きたいです。
日本語で話したい！という方はぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
