This video plays the same video twice.

The first video is a subtitle with kanji. I read it a little slowly.

The second video is the same video, but with subtitles in hiragana and I read more slowly. And my site, Japanese with Noriko.com has scripts and English translations.

Enjoy the short story.

Japan is called the longest-lived country in the world.

There are many elderly people.

Respect for the Aged Day is a day to celebrate, " We respect the elderly who have worked hard for Japanese society and want them to have a long and healthy life."

When I was in elementary school, I always spent time with my grandmother.

My mom and dad were both at work, so my grandma was always waiting for me when I got home from school.

As soon as I got home from school, I was forced to do my homework.

When I was a junior high school student, a high school student, and a college student, my grandma always gave me some pocket money.

"Nori-chan. Buy something that Nori-chan likes."

She always gave me some pocket money.

I live in the UK, far from Japan.

Whenever I return to Japan from the UK, I always go to visit her grave.

Do you have a grandpa or grandma?

Let's treat people very well who are much older and much more experienced
