My First Visit to Japan.

our family went to Japan. I had
to go to school there. I had to
learn signs for each word. When
we went to bed we had to lie on a
brick for a pillow. when we went in
tho house we had to take off our
shoes. The walls slide together at
night. At day they SIDE back out Of
sight. The japanese children wear
kimoncs. The girls tie their sashes
in bows. But the boys tuck theirs In.
My mother made ne a kimono. The
Japanese people cat their desert first.
