Sorry, i surely made a mistake at the last phrase of my previous letter.
it should be corrected as below.

> so long chun! young sparrow flying so high.

So long chun! Young swallow flying so high.

in japanese chun or spring is pronounced as shun and yan, swallow as
en or yen. Chinese words being currently used in japanese came from
ancient chinese.

i am fond of swallow best in any birds. I think their trouble-full but
well-organized travel of every season over the ocean is great. they are
the existence beyond the states border-lines of mankind. when i look
at their flying or resting figures, i feel their self-confidence and higher
pride. they do not wear casual things like sparrow but in tail-coat
everyday. they surely have some high spirits.

when they build their nest, they select the house. the house where to
nest must be the best house in the town. (of course they know well the
town where they live more than people in the town as they watch the
town from higher.) so if they nest in a small house, it should be
celebrated very much for it means that the birds grade the house good
and promise the owner of the house coming great fortune.
