极简主义 Minimalism

「おやすみなさい」は　ねるときの　あいさつの　ことばです。でも、「なさい」は　命令（めいれい）で　つかう　ことばです。子どもが　おとうさんや　おかあさんに　「ねなさい」と命令（めいれい）しているのでしょうか？　へんですよね…。どうして　ねるときに、「おやすみなさい」というようになったのか　調（しら）べてみました。
"Oyasuminasai" is a greeting word when we sleep. But "～nasai" is a word used in command. Does the child order his/her father and mother to to go bed? That's strange... so, I checked why we say "Oyasuminasai" when we sleep.

Swedish furniture company IKEA has opened a new store.

There's nothing strange about that. But wait a minute — the new store is inside a video game. And it's paying real people to work there!

IKEA advertised for 10 positions in a virtual store it has opened in Roblox — and got more than 178,000 applications!

Roblox is a popular online gaming platform that lets users play games and create their own.

IKEA has created The Co-Worker Game on the platform. And it needed some employees.

At the start of June, IKEA began looking for people aged 18 and over in the UK and Ireland to work as paid members of staff at the in-game store.

It said staff would help customers, and would be able to get promoted and move departments, just like in real life.

The company said it wanted to show that it does things a little differently.

Wes Davis from technology website The Verge called it a "weird" but "harmless" idea.

He said he'd never heard of other companies paying people to work in a game, but added that US company Walmart has already created a game on Roblox.

IKEA said its employees would be paid a little over $16.50 per hour during their work-from-home shifts, which is about the same as the company's other workers get paid in the UK.

The store opened on June 24. It's not clear how long the workers will be employed for, although the company said the positions would be on a "limited contract."

It also said anyone who didn't get a job could still experience the virtual store and win in-game prizes.

Mật ong của Gấu con


Gấu con, Heo con, Cún con và Thỏ con rủ nhau vào rừng chơi. Từ sáng sớm, mẹ đã chuẩn bị cho Gấu con một lọ mật ong. Mẹ nói: “Con nhớ chia cho các bạn cùng ăn nhé!”.
Gấu con ôm lọ mật ong đi. Cậu thầm nghĩ: “Mật ong ngon thế này mà phải chia cho các bạn thì tiếc lắm”. Thế là Gấu con bèn giấu lọ mật ong đi.
Lát sau, Heo con, Thỏ con và Cún con đều đến đông đủ. Thấy Gấu con không mang theo đồ ăn, các bạn liền an ủi: “Không sao đâu, bọn tớ sẽ chia thức ăn cho cậu”. Nghĩ đến việc mình đã giấu lọ mật ong đi, Gấu con thẹn đỏ mặt.
Mấy bạn cùng đi vào rừng. Dọc đường đi, do sơ ý, đồ ăn bị rơi hết cả. Trưa đến bạn nào cũng đói meo. Thế là cả bọn cùng nhau đi kiếm thức ăn. Thỏ con nhổ cà rốt. Heo con hái quả dâu rừng. Cún con tìm được rất nhiều nấm.
“Đúng rồi!” – Gấu con chợt nhớ ra – “Mình còn có lọ mật ong”. Gấu con liền chạy về chỗ giấu lọ mật ong lúc sáng và mang mật ong đến chia cho các bạn. Gấu con thầm nghĩ: “:Từ giờ, mình sẽ không là Gấu con ích kỉ nữa”.
