                                                     When Grandma was young

One day Sakura was watching TV. Her grandmother was watching her. “Were there any TVs when you were young, Grandma?” Sakura asked.

“No.there weren’t. I played hide-and-seek, played with stones and played cards with my friends.” said Grandma. “I also caught frogs in the field.But the game I liked best is hopscotch. It’s fun!”

“How did you play hopscotch, Grandma?” asked Sakura.

“First, we drew some square on the ground. And then we write number 1~9 in the square. They are in the vertical row. But 4 and 5 are line up.”

“We stood behind the square and threw the stone in to the square. Then, we should jump to the square which has the stone.”

“We then got the stone and turnover jumped back.”

“You should jump by one leg on 1~3, 6~9. But you should jump by two legs on 4 and 5.”

“Did you usually win, Grandma?” asked Sakura.

“I always won at this game. Your mother was good at it.because I taught her.”

“It sounds fun!” said Sakura. “Can we play now?”

“Yes ,come along.” said Grandma. “Let’s go to the park.”
