HOW TO Build Longer Sentences

In this story, a grape named Sweety supports his grapevine as they face an attack from children. This is Part 4 of 5. 

The farmhouse was home to a small family who owned and operated the winery. Their three children, two twin girls and a boy, loved playing hide and seek in the maze-like structure of the grapevines. 

The eldest sister was chasing her brother, who was the youngest of the three, through the alleyways of the vineyard. In order to keep their balance as they sped around the corners, they would grab hold of a grapevine and swing themselves around, almost launching themselves like a slingshot. They laughed with carefree delight, enjoying the acrobatics of their game. Little did they know just how traumatizing this was for the inhabitants of the vines. 

Sweety held on with every bit of strength he had. His vine was shaking tremendously as the children swung themselves around. Fear gripped every grape on that vine. They all remembered the horrific moments of their brothers and sisters falling to their deaths. 

Sweety thought that this shaking was more than anything a storm could do. Maybe it would even be enough to tear down the entire vine. Being a natural-born leader and the spiritual guardian of his vine, Sweety knew he had to do something. 

“Hey!” screamed Sweety. “Stop your foolish game! Can’t you see you’re killing us! Play somewhere else and leave our homeland alone!” 

The eldest sister hesitated for a moment. She swore she heard something, like a faint voice, but she quickly disregarded it and continued playing. Sweety’s voice was tiny, almost inaudible. The sound of a stick breaking was far louder than his attempt at communicating with the humans. 

Round and round the kids went. They chased each other, grabbing the weak grapevines and spinning. With each spin, a few grapes fell to their death. All around, Sweety saw innocent grapes suffering their lowest honor.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
大阪から北海道に帰ってきましたー。

大阪と北海道では10℃ぐらい、気温が違いますね。
今日の朝の最低気温は-2℃！でした！
寒かったですーー。

さて、今日は前回の続きですね。
奈良の東大寺に行きました！という話です。

奈良には世界遺産に登録されている建物が多いです。
その中の1つが東大寺です。大仏が有名です。
日本ではよく奈良の大仏と呼ばれますが、正しくは、
盧舎那大仏るしゃなだいぶつ
という名前の大仏です。

743年に始まり、749年、6年かけて建てられた、ということですから、今から1200年以上も前のことですね。
地震や戦により、何度か修復をして、今に至ります。

建物も何度も改修されて、今の形になっています。
昔はもっと大きかったみたいです。


日本に来る予定の人もいると思います。
奈良に行ったことがない！
という方は、ぜひ行ってみてください。
1200年前の日本を感じることができますよ。
