Friends- Chapter five
Chapter 5
Chyta becomes famous
Later, Chyta and her friends had run, panting, into the Forbidden Forest.
"Oh, man, now what? I can barely see a thing!" Kimcy complained. She swiveled towards Thinacy.
"Um, Kimcy?" Thinacy ventured doubtfully. "When I first met you, you weren't wearing glasses, and you could see fine!"
Kimcy's delicate white face turned rather pink. "Times change," she said, rather shortly. "Now, Thinacy, I think it's time Chyta knew what we knew about her, which isn't much more than she knows about herself, but she should know it. So, would you get out the book?"
"What was that?" Thinacy scratched her head.
"Just get out the book, will you?"
Thinacy rummaged in her leather pouch, and took out a large book bigger than the pouch itself.
"No, that's not it," Thinacy said, scowling at the book before dropping it back in, making an impossible CLUNKING noise, as if the bottom of the pouch was a long way off, and had other things in it...
"Uh... guys?" Chyta was starting to feel rather uncomfortable around these mysterious lionesses. "How did you-"
Thinacy cut her off. "Later," she simply said.
"THE BOOK, Thinacy," Kimcy reminded her, none too gently.
"Where is it..." Thinacy threw random things out of her pouch, like a rubber ducky, a pack of "Go fish" cards, and a 50-pound weight ("why is that in there?" asked Thinacy) that accidentally hit Chyta on the head, until finally finding ("Aha! Here it is!" she exclaimed) a huge, million-page (literally) book with a worn-out leather binding.
Though no doubt very old, the book was beautiful and rather magnificent.
Large golden-and-red letters titled the book:
"ETH KOBO FO DENGLES"
Euvmol Rofu"

Large golden-and-red letters titled the book:
"ETH KOBO FO DENGLES"
With the silver-and-blue subheading:
"Eth Nichtollic Soevrin,Euvmol Rofu"
"What in the WORLD does that all mean?" Chyta wondered, rubbing her smarting head.
"THE BOOK OF LEGENDS, The Nichtollic Version, Volume Four," Thinacy translated.
"How did you-" Thinacy cut Chyta off.
"I can read Nichtollic," She explained smoothly.
"Oh," Chyta said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. "That explains a lot."
"Glad you think so," said Thinacy politely, completely missing the point. "Who's going to read, Kimcy?"
"You," Kimcy said with an air of superiority.
"And why is that?" Thinacy returned in the same tone, mimicking Kimcy.
"Because Chyta can't read, and I haven't got my glasses," she retorted angrily.
"What story?" asked Thinacy meekly.
"The one about Chyta, silly," Kimcy snapped. "Look, just read, okay?"
"Ahem." Thinacy cleared her throat.
" ' When the first Rainbow was made by...' blah, blah, blah'...and at the end of it was a pot of gold. But in the pot of gold was a SunArmon creature, like a gray lioness with green eyes. It lay among the gold pieces, with only 30 seconds to take in its surroundings, before disappearing to an unknown location'-"
"Ha!" Interrupted Chyta. "Unknown indeed!"
Thinacy glared at her before resuming to read..
" ' , never to be seen again. Whether it has any siblings or look-alikes, relatives or family, is unknown-'" Thinacy slammed the book shut.
"That was no help!" She wailed, frustrated. "Sorry, Chyta, but I guess the rest of the world doesn't know any more than we do!"
"Ah, well. Better keep moving then," said Chyta in a fake cheerful tone that hid her feelings inside: bitter disappointment.

Japanese School
There is an AWESOME Japanese school in Sheridan, for 4th to 12th grades.
They hold some Japanese traditions there, like wearing slippers or socks inside the building instead of shoes to keep the building clean.
It is like a Japanese school with modern adjustments.
They do not only speak Japanese ( English is their fluent language ), but the teachers know it, and the students are taught it.
I went there for a tour.
It was SO FUN!!! ( and I mean so,so, SO fun!!!)
I have a friend who goes to school there 5 days a week named Emma Jaegar, who is in 4th grade.
The 4th and 5th grades combine classes, so I got to be with her.
This was my classes' order:
Spelling, Exercise P.E, Math, Snack Break, Social Studies, Lunch, Playing P.E, Science, Japanese, leave.
I want to go to school there someday...

This post is kind of ... well, late-coming. It happened in October, but lazy, lazy me didn't want to post until we found the lost photos to ... well, kind of, help tell the story. And I've found them.
Kids get their picture taken with Cosmo Cougar, the BYU mascot.
Steven, Jared, Cosmo, Me, Adam
Parents couldn't resist!
Mom, Cosmo, Aunt Mary
" Steven and the birthday cupcake", can he eat it?
Lunchtime before the big game!
"Yum. Cupcakes!!!"
Family picture taken by some nice passerby.
Happy Me
The two sisters... Laura Beth and Mary Cate!
Sanford and Christopher: Big Brothers, Best Buds!
"BYU against OSU," says Grandpa. "2 horrible teams. Now we'll just find out who's worse."
Wisdom of a beloved Grandpa just cannot be denied.
The BYU cougars won, by the way.
