The Youth in Asia
"THAT'S IT," MY MOTHER SAID AFTER HAVING SADIE PUT TO SLEEP. "MY CAT DAYS ARE OVER."

In the early sixties, during what my mother referred to as the "tail end of the Lassie years," my parents were given two collies they named Rastus and Duchess. We were living in upstate New York, out in the country, and the dogs were free to race through the forest. They napped in meadows and stood knee-deep in frigid streams, costars in their own private dog-food commercial. According to our father, anyone could tell that the two of them were in love.

Late one evening, while lying on a blanket in the garage, Duchess gave birth to a litter of slick, potato-sized puppies. When it looked as though one of them had died, our mother placed the creature in a casserole dish and popped it into the oven, like the witch in "Hänsel and Gretel."

"Oh, keep your shirts on," she said. "It's only set on 200. I'm not baking anyone; this is just to keep him warm."

The heat revived the sick puppy and left us believing our mother was capable of resurrecting the dead.

Faced with the responsibilities of fatherhood, Rastus took off. The puppies were given away, and we moved south, where the heat and humidity worked against a collie's best interests. Duchess's once beautiful coat now hung in ragged patches. Age set in and she limped about the house, clearing rooms with her suffocating farts. When finally, full of worms, she collapsed in the ravine beside our house, we reevaluated our mother's healing powers. The entire animal kingdom was beyond her scope; apparently, she could resurrect only the cute dead.

The oven trick was performed on half a dozen peakish hamsters but failed to work on my first guinea pig, who died after eating a couple of cigarettes and an entire pack of matches.

Here I will read the second page of Niet thuis. Listen carefully because some things are repeated in the story. 

The room is not big, 3 by 4 meters.  But Lisa has her own bathroom, with toilet.  And a balcony.  And that is special for a student in Amsterdam.  Lisa puts her backpack on a chair and takes off her coat.  So first make tea.  She walks to the large kitchen at the end of the hall.  The kitchen is for all students together.  And that's not so great.  The kitchen is always dirty and messy.  Very dirty and very messy.  Lisa takes the kettle and puts water in the device.  Then she wants to go back to her room.  But the young man and woman are standing at the kitchen door.  "Excuse me," says the woman.  Dan is not home.  Maybe he went grocery shopping.  Can we wait here for a while?'  "Of course," says Lisa.  Would you like a cup of tea?'  The woman nods.  "gladly," she says

こんばんは！
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。

今回は、ベルリンに向かう電車の話をします。

いよいよ、電車に乗って出発！しましたが、また新たな問題が発生しました。どこに座ればいいか問題。

2等の席のチケットを予約しました。
なので、2等の席に座っていました。次の駅に停まった時、人が乗ってきました。座っていると1人の男性に声をかけられました。彼はここが自分の席であることを言いました。僕たちは、ん？となってわからなかったのですが、席をあけました。

そして、他の席に座って、ネットで調べてみました。2等の席でもお金を払えば予約することができるみたいでした。それで、席の通路側にデジタルのサインが出ることがわかりました。予約されている時は、どこどこーどこどこ、フランクフルトーベルリン、のように表記されるようでした。

でも、席によっては、予約されているかもしれないけどわからない、というような表記がありました。日本ではそういう表記はしないだろうなと思い、おもしろいなと思いました。

結局、そのあいてるかあいてないかわからないよ、という表記の席に座りました。

それでようやく落ち着いて座ることができました。と言いながら、駅で停まるたびに、ここ、私の席です、と言われないか気になりました笑

そうやって、無事、ベルリンに着きました。


ということで、今回は以上です。
また続き、話しますね！

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！
