Lessons are where you find them
“Translate into Japanese: . . . Cats die in water . . . Snowy days are cold. “ - Teach Yourself Japanese (EUP 1958) by C.J. Dunn and S.Yanada, pps 22 & 32, exs 5 & 11, nos 12 & 11.
Listen, little daughter,
To these words of gold.
Cats die in water,
Snowy days are cold.
Worth their weight in dollars
Yanada and Dunn
Teach your fellow-scholars
Wisdom dearly won.
Always wear your mittens,
When the weather’s cool;
Never let the kittens
Go too near the pool.
Oh, as days grow shorter,
Remember you’ve been told
Cats die in water,
Snowy days are cold.
