<p>Papa:<br />
<font color="#333399">Mama's miso soup is good, huh?</font></p>
<p>Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">Yes! And her miso soup of clams is best of
all!</font></p>
<p>Papa:<br />
<font color="#333399">Mama, would you pass the soy sauce, please?<br />
Natto is even better with soy sauce.</font></p>
<p>Mama:<br />
<font color="#993366">Sure. Here you go, dear.</font></p>
<p>Papa:<br />
<font color="#333399">Thanks. And ah... could I have the mustard too,
please?</font></p>
<p>Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">Oh, no. I think it's better with kimuchi,
papa.</font></p>
<p>Mama:<br />
<font color="#993366">Never mind the kimuchi, sweet heart.<br />
Listen Ana. Your father and I are hoping you settle into new school
quickly.</font></p>
<p>Papa:<br />
<font color="#333399">Yes, now that you are a young lady...<br />
Oops! I've just got some of my shirt.</font></p>
<p>Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">Papa, You have to stir it really well and then pour it
on your rice in one motion.<br />
Just... like... this!</font></p>
<p>Papa:<br />
<font color="#000080">Ah, I see. I must say I do admire your skill with
chopsticks.</font><br />
<font color="#333399">You handle them so elegantly.</font></p>
<p>Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">Haha. That's because I'm a lady.</font></p>
<p>Papa:<br />
<font color="#333399">Ha-ha! Isn't that the truth!</font></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">I'm off!</font></p>
<p><font color="#808000"> The time has finally come...<br />
The first day of my brand-new school...!</font></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">Gosh, It's been 5 years since we moved from England
because of Papa's job...<br />
I'm getting pretty used to the life here.<br />
Let see... I speak Japanese, and I even love miso soup.<br />
After being here for so long I guess I've become quite attached to
Japan...</font></p>
<p> <font color="#808000">But I was so...</font></p>
<p> <font color="#808000">I was so desperate back then...<br />
It seemed like everyone hesitated when they saw my blonde hair and blue
eyes.<br />
So I had to show people right away that I was friendly...<br />
I had to prove it...</font></p>
<p>past Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">Hi, everybody! It's nice to meet you.<br />
I'm Ana and I was born in England, in a corn 'n' wall.<br />
Oops! Not in a corn and wall... in Cornwall over in England.<br />
Yes! Cornwall, England!</font></p>
<p><font color="#808000"> Corn and wall...</font></p>
<p><font color="#808000"> Corn...</font></p>
<p>Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">But the past is the past!<br />
I won't make the same mistake twice!<br />
Anyway, why does an English girl, like me, have to speak Japanese in the first
place?<br />
It's not like it's cool to speak Japanese or anything.<br />
But it's all my parents speak at home these days.<br />
I've pretty much completely forgotten how to speak English.<br />
I am still English, though.<br />
And I want to stay English!</font></p>
<p>Miu:<br />
<font color="#FF00FF">Huh? It's a foreigner.</font></p>
<p>Chika:<br />
<font color="#FF0000">Sure is.</font></p>
<p>Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">Since it's my very first day at the school, nobody
around here knows me...<br />
Nobody knows that I can speak Japanese, or that I love to eat miso soup
well!<br />
That's it then no more!<br />
I say goodbye to Japanese! From today on I'll be English!</font></p>
<p>Miu:<br />
<font color="#FF00FF">Good morning!</font></p>
<p>Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">Oh! Good afternoon!</font></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Miu:<br />
<font color="#FF00FF">Wow... She fell down after I said hello.</font></p>
<p>Chika:<br />
<font color="#FF0000">You sure know how to approach people, Miu?<br />
You know, she is a foreigner.</font></p>
<p>Miu:<br />
<font color="#FF00FF">But she was speaking Japanese!</font></p>
<p>Chika:<br />
<font color="#FF0000">She was?</font></p>
<p><font color="#FF0000"> That's right! She did to say "Good afternoon" to
us!</font></p>
<p>Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">Excuse me, but um... what grade are you two
in?</font></p>
<p>Miu:<br />
<font color="#FF00FF">Six grade, class two!</font></p>
<p>Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">Thank goodness, they're in a different grade... I'm
still safe.</font></p>
<p>Miu:<br />
<font color="#FF00FF">Do you want a piece of this?</font><br />
<font color="#FF00FF">She may look cute, but she's actually a snob,
boss.</font></p>
<p>Chika:<br />
<font color="#FF0000">Boss?! What are you talking about?</font></p>
<p>Miu:<br />
<font color="#FF00FF">Just knock her down!</font></p>
<p>Chika:<br />
<font color="#FF0000">I'm not an underling, either!</font></p>
<p>Miu:<br />
<font color="#FF00FF">Hey! You're just gonna leave us here?<br />
Help meeeee!</font></p>
<p>Chika:<br />
<font color="#FF0000">I don't get it, Miu.</font></p>
<p>Miu:<br />
<font color="#FF00FF">Yeah! That's gonna be my thing today.</font></p>
<p>Chika:<br />
<font color="#FF0000">Oh, Miu...</font></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ana:<br />
<font color="#808000">I already slipped up once this morning...<br />
But now, for the real test...!</font></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>desperate: 必死な<br />
underling: 地位が下の者、部下</p>
