確か前回、東北へ行こうって話してたんですが、最近、栃木（とちぎ）県の日光（にっこう）へ旅行したので、そっちになりました。そもそもが、私、関西出身なんで、関東の北の方がどうなってるのか、さっぱりわかっていませんでした。でも、行けばわかるんだよなあ、うん。栃木は群馬（ぐんま）の右、埼玉（さいたま）の上！…だけじゃなくて、実際に食べたおいしい物の話なんかしてます。日光は世界遺産（せかいいさん World Heritage)だけじゃないよ！

"The Mouse and the Snake" is a short story by David Sedaris that explores themes of fear, vulnerability, and the unexpected connections between strangers. In the story, Sedaris recounts an incident from his childhood when he found a dead mouse in his family's pool. Initially repulsed, he decides to dispose of it by throwing it over the fence into a neighbor's yard. However, when he goes to retrieve it later, he discovers that a snake has coiled itself around the mouse, preparing to eat it.
