Food in Kyushu

Kyushu, Japan's south-western island, including Okinawa. The wether in Kyushu is warmer than any other prefecture. 

First, Chicken nanban is famous in Miyazaki. It is fried chicken in Japanese sweet and peppery vegetable sauce with tartare sauce. I love it. When I went to Miyazaki last summer, I ate a famous lunchbox with chikcken nanban. It was heavy lunch, so I couldn't eat all.

Next, Toriten is famous in Oita. It is chicken tempura. Tumpra is dipping into batter and deep flying. It is juicy in the middle. It is a bit different from fried chicken. We usually eat fried chicken whole. However when we eat toriten, we dip toriten in a Japanese dipping sauce. I think toriten is more light food than fried chicken.

Finally, Okinawa soba is famous in Okinawa. Soba is Japanese noodle, and it is made from buckwheat flour. This dish's name is soba, but this noodle is not made from buckwheat flour but flour. It is like a Chinese noodle. We eat it with richer soup and pork. Soba is healthy food, but I think Okinawa soba is heavy.

There are a lot of food and drink in Kyushu. I think everything is delicious. Please try to eat foods in Kyushu.

Chicken Licken

Chicken Licken was scared - of everything. One day, Chicken Licken went to the woods. He stopped by an oak tree. Suddenly, a tiny acorn dropped from the tree and hit Chicken licken's head.

Chicken Licken didn't know the acorn, so he thought that the sky must be falling. And then, he tried to tell the king. He rushed back to the farmyard, and he told everyone the sky is falling. Everyone follow him.
Chicken Licken is so cute. I think he is similar to me, because I don't know a lot about something. He will experience a lot from now, and he will know a lot of things.

How elephants lost their wings

Once upon a time, elephants could fly. They flew everywhere. They flew high into the sky... and down the ground. They even looped the loop.

Elephants could fly. But the elephants were noisy. They flew into trees and smashed them. They landed on houses... and fell right through. Soon all the trees were broken and there were no houses left. Then the gods tried to stop them, and the gods took away their wings. They gave them to the peacocks and the banana trees.
I think this book is very interesting. I like the idea that elephants had wings.
