Welcome back, and you’re watching the Olympic Winter Games Review… and they are getting ready now… about to start the race… This will be a very exciting skiing event. Everyone is talking about it. Almost ready now… 

“Aaron… Aaron… Can you hear me? Or are you too busy watching TV?” says an angry voice. 

Aaron is a handsome black cat. Right now, he’s lying on the couch watching TV. His hands are on his belly and his head is on a pillow. 

His mother is standing over him. She looks upset and angry. She is wearing wet rubber gloves. 

“When will you stop?” says Aaron’s mother while looking for the TV remote. “You have been watching this show all day!”

She finds it under a pillow. She turns off the TV.

“Hey!” cries Aaron. “I was watching that! They were just about to start!” 

“I should tell your father. He won’t approve of this.”

Aaron sits up and grabs the remote from his mother’s hands. “Go tell him! I don’t think he will hear you. He’s in his bedroom watching TV too!” 

Aaron turns the TV back on and lies back down. 

Aaron’s mother breathes deeply and gives up. She goes back into the kitchen and continues washing the dishes. 

Being a Cloud

Aaron the Black Cat

先週イタリアから帰ってきました。今年はチレントという南イタリアの町に行きました。ドイツからイタリアまで車で移動したのですが、片道15時間ほど掛かりました。行きも帰りも途中のオーストリアで一泊しました。
南イタリアはとても海がきれいで、美しいビーチがたくさんあります。毎日海で泳いでいたので、かなり日焼けをしてしまいました。日焼け止めクリームを塗っていましたが、皮がむけてしまうほど焼けてしまいました。今、日本人の友達に会ったら「すごい焼けてるね」と言われると思います。後でしみやほくろがたくさん出てくるのではないかと少し心配しています。
また、南イタリアにはおいしい食べ物がたくさんあります。特にモッツァレラチーズは有名ですが、魚や肉、ピザ、なんでもおいしいです。イタリアにいる間、毎日たくさん食べていたので、体重計に乗るのが怖いです。
