The Ages Flow
The old brown photo album. Grandfather's pictures tell of Meiji, Taisho, Showa-- all the ages slowly flowing by. Smelling a little moldy, the black-and-white photos tell sturdily a tale of history. Ikenaga Eri, fifth grade. |
My Family
I was born in the year of the rooster so I wake up early. My brother was born in the year of the monkey so he likes to climb trees. My father was born in the year of the dragon so he likes to eat spicy food and breathes fire. My mother was born in the year of the sheep-- but she doesn't really seem like one. Ueda Akie, third grade |
