I introduce ''跳'' on this time.

When we get old,
it becomes often that we touch a foot on the ground and act.

We can call it ''presence of mind''.

But,
the emotional display calms down,
and the expression of the joy becomes small, too.

When is it that you were pleased to jump?


I introduce ''翔'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
