One day, while shopping with my mother, I saw some cute red gloves on a mannequin. They were made of yarn and had a string to hang around the neck. I asked if we could buy them, but my mother said no. Instead, she suggested that my grandmother could make similar ones. When we got home, I messaged my grandmother. A few days later, a pair of adorable pink gloves arrived. They were handmade and looked just like the ones in the store. Now, I wear them to school every day. They may not be fancy, but I love them because my grandmother made them just for me!   (108 words)By Ikuho N.] Watch the video at https://youtu.be/6O5QJWHT6Bo You can send me a comment or your own story at jaremaga@gmail.com

My family always watches the morning news. One morning, I thought we were watching the news as usual. I looked at the time on the TV and thought it was still early, so I got ready slowly. I don’t usually look at my smartphone in the morning, but I decided to check it this time. When I picked it up, I noticed something strange—the time on my phone was very different from the time on the TV. Confused, I asked my mom about it. She replied, “Oh? This is a recorded program.” I looked closer and saw the date on the TV. It was from last week. Of course, I was late for school. (115 words)By Aomi N.

I love looking at the moon and stars at night. One evening, while I was alone in the garden, I found a cute cat nearby. Since I love cats, I tried to touch it. The friendly cat let me stroke it for a long time. The quiet night created a special world for us. After that, I became friends with other cats too, and I looked at the sky with them almost every night. I cherished those moments, but soon they were gone. Sometimes, I see the cats during the day, and I can’t forget those nights. (97 words)By Ranka T. You can send me a comment or your own story at jaremaga@gmail.com
