Literacy with Japanese 4

     

                This time I read あめ　(雨)。The book was about an unnamed squirrel who invites you to go on a walk with them. He say it’s a lovely day hence why you should take a walk with them. Though while you’re following the squirrel on the walk, it starts raining. He finds a leaf that he ends up using it as an umbrella to shield from the rain. Though the squirrel gets scared because it starts thundering and lightning.  A part I couldn’t understand was how he was referring to what I assume is a god or demon. There is a photo of lightning alongside a figure smirking which I assume is the god/demon he is talking about. During the storm he ends up looking his umbrella and gets even more scared. Though the lightning and thunder dies down and he ends up seeing a lot of puddles. He starts splashing and jumping in the puddle. At the very end the squirrel is very sad because he is soaking wet.
