Scientific American : Animal Kids Listen to Their Parents Even before Birth

イメージ
     Today I listened to a podcast about nature. The main theme is embryos of the animal listen to songs of their animals because embryos try to make the bodies which are suitable for the environment.      The small size of birds which live in the hot place are advantageous, so the parent birds bark to their eggs when it is hot. And embryos listen to and recognize their parents singing. A child born from this egg is smaller than the others.      Many researchers said that embryos have nerve which can recognize sound from their parents.

The Secret World of Arrietty

     One movie which I really liked was "The Secret World of Arrietty". It was made in 2010. Hayao Miyazaki directed it. This movie was one of the Ghibli movies. This movie won the Japan Academy Prize for Animation in 2011.      The main character of this movie is a 14-year-old dwarf girl, Arrietty. She lived with her parents under the floor. They had a rule that they must not be seen by humans. But one day, Arrietty was seen by a boy. This boy's housekeeper tries to catch Arrietty, but he tries to hide and protect her. After that, he moved somewhere and got separated from Arrietty.      The reasons why I liked it is that I found the relationship between Arrietty and the boy was very good. And I thought the kindness of the boy was wonderful.

But a lot of yuzu which I got from my grandmother remained.     So I took a yuzu bath last night. I enjoyed the smell of "yuzu" while I was taking a yuzu bath. I was relaxed smelling yuzu. This is very good style of taking a bath, so I r
