English fable

I will introduce our favorite English fable. this is The North Wind And The Sun.
A man wore coat. There were the north wind and the sun. They tried to put off his coat. At first, the north wind tried it. The north wind blew strong wind, but a man refused to put off, and he wore his coat tightly. After then, the sun tried it. The sun beated down on him. Finally, he put off his coat.
From this fable, we can learn that we can get big profits when we try to do things steadily.

I will introduce our favorite Japanese fable. This is Obasuteyama.
Long long ago, in Japan, president said that Japanese have to throw away those who are over 60. A man who liked his mather didnot do that. So, he hide his mother under the floor. Later, Japan had a big problem. No one could solve it, but his mother who was over 60 could solve it.
From this fable, we can learn that we have to cherish older people.
