The old pond;
A frog jumps in -
The sound of the water.
By Basho

tree

Tree on the roadside
People under the shade
Taking a rest.

What traditions do we keep?

In korea, there is a traditional day when the people do not go to school and plant trees.
It is April fifth every year. Last year the government decided to abolish the day, but I do not approve it. It should be essential to environment and country. Today Korea has many mountains and there are not many trees. People can not breathe without trees. Of course, some people do not plant trees on the day, but children can know the importance of environment through the day.

Our happy time

I red a book which is written by a writer who I like. It was filmed by a famous director.
I had seen the movie before reading the novel. The movie gave me strong impression, the novel also moved me, but they have different feeling from each other.
The title is "our happy time". A woman tried to commit suicide three times, because of her trauma of childhood. Her aunt who is a nun go to prison to illuminate prisoners twice a week. One day she had a accident on way to prison, so proposed her to go to prison instead of her.
She did not like to go, but her aunt implored her, she could not refuse her. She went to prison and she met a muderer there.
