They are addicted in tennis. However strong.



It was rain yesterday. But Yutaka, Susan, Keone, and Jin played in the rain.Be careful.They are addicted in tennis. I do not want to play tennis on wet court.

Be not defeated by the rain, Nor let the wind prove your better.
Nor be bested by the heat of summer.

Be strong in body. Unfettered by desire. Not enticed to anger. Cultivate a quiet joy.
Count yourself last in everything. Put others before you.
Watch well and listen closely. Hold the learned lessons dear.

Stand aloof of the unknowing masses:
Better dismissed as useless than flattered as a "Great Man".
This is my goal, the person I strive to become.

  2. There once was a boy named Hiro,
    He pretended to be Jiro (Kikaida),
    But when it rained, he was feardo,
    He feared the rain with much disdain,
    That he never played in the rain,
    For everytime he was touched by the rain, he felt pain,
    Hiro was acting insane.
