Frog and Toad are friends 3

~Summary~

One day, Toad and Frog went for a long walk. They walked across a large meadow, in the wood and along the river. After that they went back home to Toad's house.

Then, Toad found that he lost one of the buttons on his jacket. Therefore, Toad and Frog went back to all the places where they walked.

First, they walked back to the large meadow and began to look for Toad's button in the tall grass. Then, Frog found a black button. Unfortunately, it was not Toad's one because his button was white. So, Toad put the black button in his pocket.
After that, a sparrow flew down and he showed a button which the sparrow found to Toad. Unfortunately, it was not Toad's one because his button had four holes but that had only two holes. So, Toad put the button with two holes in his pocket.

Second, Toad and Frog went back to the woods and looked on the dark paths. Then, Frog found a small button. Unfortunately, it was not Toad's one because his button was big. So, Toad put the small button in his pocket.
After that, a raccoon came and showed a square button. Unfortunately, it was not Toad's one because his button was round. So, he Toad put the square button in his pocket.

Last, Toad and Frog went back to the river. They looked for the button in the mud. Then, Frog found a thin button. Unfortunately, it was not Toad's one because his button was thick. So, Toad put the thin button in his pocket.

At last, Toad was very angry and ran home and slammed the door. Then, he found a white, four-holes, big, round, thick button. It was his one! And he thought what a lot of trouble he has made for Frog. Therefore, he took all of the buttons out of his pocket and sewed them all over his jacket.

The next day, Toad gave his jacket to Frog. Frog felt so happy. Of course, Toad had sewed all buttons on very well so none of them fell off.

~My impression~
I think this story is very rhythmical so it is very interesting to read for readers.
It is very good point that Toad felt regretful for Frog and apologized to him.
The story has many good points in it!

An apple pie!


Last Sunday, I went to a cafe with my two friends.

The meeting time was 4 p.m. so we were little hungry. The cafe is famous for an apple pie so we ordered it each other. However, my apple pie had a little different point compared with my friends. It had a big ice cream on it! The price was a little expensive but I want to eat an apple pie with an ice cream so I ordered it.

The apple pie had some very good baked apples and apple jam between upper and under pies. It was so delicious! Of course, ice cream too.

After eating, we enjoyed talking about anything for a long time. The reason why we did that, the cafe has a relaxed atmosphere so we wanted to relax there.

So, I had a very good time there.
If you want to go the cafe, please tell me. I can teach you the place of the cafe.

Disccusion 3 Octobor 22th

Last week, we had third time discussion. The discussion's topic was "Should we pay for the ambulance, or not?" The team member were Ms.Yone, Shizuko, Kashiwagi, Dr.Shindou and the chair.

First, the chair suggested that the fare is 15,000yen. Then Dr.Shindou said that he agreed with the idea because if we pay for the ambulance, survice of ambulance would be better.
However, Ms.Yone said she disagreed with it because she often uses the ambulance. She has a regular health problem so if we have to pay for them, it is difficult for her. In additionally, Ms.Shizuko said that 15,000yen was too high so we should reduce the price. The reason why she said that she lives in a country side so it takes about a few hours to get to hospital from her country by car.
Therefore, if we have to pay for the ambulance, it is difficult for her too. So, the chair suggested that 10,000yen to the fare. Then, Ms.Kashiwagi agreed with it because she is a local government officer so the price was good for her.
However, Ms. Shizuko said 10,000yen was still expensive so we should reduce the price to 5,000yen. Expect for Ms.Yone, everyone agreed with Ms.Shizuko's idea but Ms.Yone has a lot of medical expense so she couldn't Ms. Shizuko's idea.
Then, Ms. Kashiwagi suggested that if people who use over 5 times in a year, we could reduce the price by 30%. The idea was so good for Ms.Yone so she agreed with it.
Therefore, the team's consensus that our fare is 5,000yen for the ambulance. However, people who use over 5 times in a year can reduce the price by 30%.

After the discussion, we talked about some problems and other ideas for the discussion.
Then, one of the students suggested a good idea. The idea was that the doctors can have a right to decide whether the patients should pay for the ambulance or not. Most audience agreed with the idea and of course me too.

I think if the team had deeper discussion, they could find better idea. However, this topic and discount system are very interesting idea. The discussion need to have a better society for us.
