To-day my father bring what 'Merican call bureau, and many work-box
and trays and much fine _futon_ for to sleep on floor with. Next day
after this many mens will come and travel all things to other house.
Japanese girl wear fine kimono long, long time, and keep for more
little girl. Merrit San say 'Merican girl wear fine kimono one time,
then she no more like.

Then 'Merican girl have much happy in her heart. 'Merican man come to
girl's house to marry with her. She no afraid to speak the word of
love, though man's mother sit next by him. She no 'fraid of laugh. She
has the joyful of life.

Japanese girl very happy when she very little girl, or very, very old.
But when she goes to man's house to marry with him, she must always be
the quiet of little mice and more busy than honey-bee. Very bad. But
Japanese girl have the much brave, and holds the happy in her heart
when she brings the comforts to her peoples.

Merrit San say many more big country than Japan in world. I say, "What
is world? I wish I know world like you!" Merrit San stop the laugh and
his voice grow still with quiet, then he say:

"Ah, Yuki San, little snow-girl like you should not know the world.
Cuddle in your little nest and be content."

What is content? It is the don't care of anything but the
flower-garden in my heart. Wonder if girl with laugh in her eyes have
the content? This day I take walk by seas. Last time I take walk so many
peoples come with us. I make into Japanese words all Merrit San's funny
speaks. We have the much laugh: Merrit San try the eat with chop-sticks.
