heart about you."

On the back of the book in letters of gold she spelled out the strange
word, "Diary." She puzzled for a moment, then she remembered where she
had seen it before. The young American teacher had written in just
such a book, and when she asked its meaning, the teacher had said it
was her best friend, her confidant, to whom she told her secrets.

For a moment Yuki San stood with the book in her hand, then she said
impulsively:

"Diary! I make diary, too. I speak my thoughts to you. I tole you all
my secrets. Maybe my lonely heart will flew away."
