pretty letters
Helen Smith liked Japanese food very much. One day she went to a Japanese restaurant and looked at the menu. She said to herself, 'The Japanese letters on this menu are very pretty,' and she wrote two of them on a piece of paper. Her hobby was sewing, and at home she sewed them on the front of her new blouse.
All her friends liked the blouse very much, but then a few days later, she went to the Japanese restaurant again. The Japanese people looked at her blouse, and then began smiling.
Helen said, 'Why are you smiling?' and one of the Japanese answered, 'because the words on your blouse say: "young chicken". '
