Things
Fishes live in the ocean
Cows live on the land
Vegetables put their roots on the ground
We need water when we become thirsty
What shall we do when we need water?
Just twist the sink
Buy it at the store
You don’t need to stock rain water
You don’t need to bring water from the river
We can instantly get what we want
We live in a convenient time
We live with help from others
Here, there is an umbrella that’s forgotten
There was an owner for this umbrella in the past
What is this umbrella feeling while it is standing alone
When it’s lost, are we going to look for it?
When it’s broken, are we going to fix it?
Is there are exactly “same thing” in this world?
Does things have feelings?
There are feeling towards things
There are many different people in this society
Some people can write cleanly
Some people can’t write words
Some people can ran fast
Some people can’t walk
There are many different things in this society
There are airplanes that fly in the sky
There are submarines that run in the water
There are oven that can cook patty
There are dryer that will dry clothes
What thing has created these things?
Here, there is an umbrella that’s forgotten
Cloudy after rain and it will be sunny
Even if it’s sunny outside
It helped you so lets go home together
Today, I will shine my shoes when I go home
I want to cherish it
Since it can’t speak
Thank you as always
