神様 - Hiromi Kawakami 両親はバミュダに休みを行くでした! 家の面倒を見るでした。私が勉強じゃないでした。 ごめんなさい! I also found a book with six fiction stories in Japanese. It is supposed to read as the Japanese read and not like a textbook. The first story is called 神様 (Kamisama) by 川上弘美. It has several kanji but is mostly hirigana. There is a part that I am not sure what it means. Here is the sentence: くまにさそわれて散歩に出る。 I do not know what this means:さそわれて In my dictionary, the root 'さそい' means 'invitation' but I am not sure how the rest connects. If you have an idea, please share! Thank you! :D
