Not a cloud is to be seen in the sky.
What a beautiful day for this time
of the year!
On my way back from my daughter's
house, I happened to see a tree
with a few leaves left.
Suddenly those leaves brought me
back to my high school days.
The leaves suddenly reminded
me of a short story The Last Leaf
written by O. Henry, an American
writer in 19th century.
The Last leaf was translated
into Japanese
and is very popular in Japan.
The story appears in many junior
high school textbooks, I hear.
It was in my high school days
that I read The Last Leaf
in the original,
I mean in English.
What a nostalgic memory!
Have you ever read The Last Leaf
by O. Henry, either in Japanese
or in English?
