after the rain
the smell of green grass
lingering in the air
Last week, my friend said to me, "There is a carcass of a mouse nearby."
Hearing that, I remembered when I was a child, I kept four cats. I like cats very much,
and I loved them. There was a white one, black one, gray one and light brown one.
Especially I loved the black one whose eyes were gold and silver. Sometimes, they
caught some mice and then rolled them with their paws.

The cats left them alone for a while and then ate them. I witnessed that scene several
times. One day a little bird which we kept, was caught by one of the cats. I was very
surprised. I was going to stop her but the bird had already died. They were smart. They
must have observed our actions carefully. I thought that maybe when I opened the bird
cage, they watched how to open it.
