The View from My Window

By Haruna Tonomura

The view out of my window is very good for me. There are two big oak trees on both sides. I can see many acorns in fall, and in spring, a pair of birds comes to make a nest. But I haven’t seen their baby. My father doesn’t like them because of their droppings. The parking space is between the oak trees, so he has to wash his car. My brother and I usually park our bicycles by the tree. Sometimes we need to remove droppings. The road in front of the parking space is a school zone. A lot of junior high school students use this road, and I can hear them talking about a test, teachers, a TV program that they watched, and so on. The road and the parking space are divided by a gate, but I open the gate in fall because several little children come to gather acorns. I enjoy playing with them. The view out of my window makes me happy.
