////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I introduce ''雲'' on this time.

When I was young,
I thought that the cloud was something which was soft.
The cloud changed form in a moment and pleased me.

When I grew up and knew that a cloud was steam, I was a shock.
Because the cloud which I watched from the window of the airplane was a grain of the water.

Time went by from that, and I became a parent.
The cloud chang form in a moment and please us.

The cloud returned to something which was soft again for me.


I introduce ''川'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.
