My Mother's First English Book

Hi, everyone. I am fuku.
This is a today's things.

My mother came to my town and we enjoyed shopping.
I bought her a new cell phone and she seemed to be happy.
After lunch, we went to a large bookstore.

Once, I told her to try to start learning English, but not started.
In our home town, there is only small bookstore and these shops have
no English books. Then we had not any good English books for her.

We went to English book corner and saw many picture books.
My mother took one book and started to read.
It was a story of rabbit in four seasons.
She loved the picture and story of the book and bought it.
It was her first English book.

After she went home, An e-mail arrived from her new cell phone.
It said, "I think I like English."

My mother start to read English, and it makes me so happy.

〉Hi, everyone. I am fuku.

Hello, fuku-san.

Anyway, nice to see you!

I am happy,
cause your mother read a lovely english book
as her first english book.

I wish your mother is going to read a lot of lovely books.

Hi, Fuku-san.

I loved reading about your mother starting to learn English.

Please give her my congratulations on her first encounter with
a book in English.

I'd like to hear more about her later.

Hello Fuku-san, islaverde here.

This was a really heartwarming story and actually
made me feel happy too.

I've tried many times to introduce this SSS-reading style to
others, but nobody has been interested in it so far....

I understand it is difficult to interest others.
Congratulations!!

〉Hi, everyone. I am fuku.

Fuku-san, nice to meet you. This is Chikuwa.

I am glad to hear your mother has met a good English book.

〉My mother took one book and started to read.

Isn't that book "I Am A Bunny"?
Isn't it illustrated by Richard Scarry?
The book is long, and when you open it, it is almost square?

I love this book very much!
The picture is very beautiful and the rabbit is so cute!
I am happy to know your mother likes this book.
(It is strange to say this, if it is a different book...)
(I hope it is the right book...)

〉After she went home, An e-mail arrived from her new cell phone.
〉It said, "I think I like English."

From her new phone!
She wrote she likes English!

You must be happy.

Thank you for writing about your mother
and sharing your happiness with us.

Bye.

Banana-san, Sakai-sensei, islaverde-san, Chikuwa-san.

Thank you for your celebrate messages.
If my mother hear it, she will be so surprised and pleased.
Next month, I will go my hometown and meet her.
I will hand her a bright orange notebook for reading records,
and tell her about these happy messages.
With some new picture books.

So, my mother's book is "I Am a Bunny".
In the book, a rabbit talks what he likes.
He likes blowing dandelion seeds in spring.
Chikuwa-san, You got it!

Bye!

Fuku

Fuku-san, nice to hear from you so soon.

I thought 'Wow, Fuku-san is doing really fine!' when I read
your 'bright' orange notebook!

That was fantastic! Keep up the good job, Fuku-san!

Thank you very much, Sakai-sensei.
I am so happy!

I will keep up my extensive reading.
But, I don't work too hard!
(I think, not to work hard is very difficult!)

Hello, fuku-san, this is ako.

I am sorry I am late.

Your story made me very happy.
How happy your Tadoku-life is !!

Maybe I read the same book, "I am a Bunny". (Thanks, Chikuwa-san !)
Here, this is another story of OYAKO-Tadoxist!

How wonderful Tadoku is !
And how happy we could meet together here !

Thank you for telling us your heart-warming story.
This BBS is wonderful !!

Hooray, fuku-san !

Dear Fuku-an,

This is Shokunin. It is the first time to speak to you.
I don't know why the reason when I called Sora-san,I often called your name at the party on September.
(酔ってるつもりはなかったんだけどなぁ・・・って、もっと申し訳ないですね。)
In this time, I did it.I'm very very sorry.

Then, I'm sorry I'm not sure the book what your mother read.
However your lovely letter made me very happy.
Thank you very much.

Please enjoy reading with your mother.
And I'm looking forward to hearing next message.
See you again at this board and タドキスト大会.

Hello! Shokunin-san!

I wanted to reply this message for a long time.
But, I was in a deep and deep and deep stasis,
and I had not enough power to write down here.
(We call it is in a TEITAI.)

I had many things to do before TADOKIST-TAIKAI,
and when I thought about them, it made me so cross.
Today, I completed one of these business and
it made me better.
So, I thought this is the time to reply here.

Shokunin-san, Oh! you met Sora-san in Tokyo!
Recently, I met Sora-san, too. But I had forget to
talk to Sora-san about Shokunin-san's this message.
In Fukuoka, there is many alike handle-named tadokiest.
When I first met Moka-san, I called Moka-san as Sora-san.
Probably, two sounds named person is hard to remenber!

Well, next month I will go to TADOKIST-TAIKAI and
I will see many first-meet tadokist. I'm not good at learning
person's name, but I will remember your name, Shokunin-san.
It is little longer and little typical and little funny!
See you in the TADOKIST-TAKIAI.
Bye!

Hi,Fuku.　

It's me, Deno.

I'm happy to read your warm letter.

Because of it, I think I'll enjoy drinking Sake tonight.

Thank you very much indeed.
