Long time ago, there is a poor miller who blower. He sometimes speaks same story.

Then her father came there and he said lie that she can spin the straw and this straw become the gold. First time, the King doesn’t believe but finally, he believes it. He asked him to take his daughter to his castle for make sure this story was truth. She thought get chance that becomes Queen.

Next morning, she and her father went to the castle. The castle was very old. The King waited front of gate. And he said follow him to her. He took the room where full straw and spinning-wheel. He said her to spin it and change it the gold. If she can’t it, she was killed. He locked her there.

Anna sat down and lost. Because of, she can’t spin the straw and change the gold. That story was lie by her father. Then somebody’s voice heard from the window. She came near the window. A little old man who was riding on a wooden spoon floated in the sky there. He asked her to come into the room. She opened the window and let him into there. Little old man bowed and offered to spin the straw and change it the gold if she gives him someone. She gave her necklace to him. He started to spin the straw and change it the gold. She was very surprised by this view. First, she watched how to it. But her eyes began to close and she fell asleep.

When she woke up next morning, little old man had gone. But there are many reels with golden thread there. The King watched this room and he was very surprised. And he took the next room.

42th Music Festival

Music festival held in Kumamoto prefectural theater on 27th June. This day was after 2 days from my Birthday. Music festival is concert of KGU music club. We call this concert “MF”. Mandolin club which I belong takes part in this concert. My club takes part in this concert every year. But music that we play there is very easy every year. Because fresh mans also plays then every year. Of course I played there last year. But fresh mans didn’t plays then this year. Because fresh mans don’t set base. If they take part in this concert with this state, maybe they are trouble for progress with mandolin. So we decided to don’t take part in concert fresh mans. For that reason, music was more difficult than annual. We played 4 music, “Gozira”, “He is a pirate”, “Summer”, and “Ashitaka Sekki”. Ashitaka Sekki was difficult the best. I practiced this music very hard. Really, I wanted to stop the practice some frequency. But I beard up. I was very tense at playing. So I missed “Gozira” and “He is a pirate”. I regret it very much. But “Summer” and “Ashitaka Sekki” was very nice. I thought 2 music ware the best. My friends came and listened our play. I was very happy. They said that Mandolin club’s play was the best! Many people that listened the Mandolin club’s play, praised us. I enjoyed this concert.
