Letter 18 - Rats + 2/28 + Baseball + Nosedive

Rats

    One time, when my mom was sun-drying our clothes on the porch she saw a string like a wire on the plat form, so she thought why is there wire in this place, then she pulled it out and astonishingly she found out it was a dead rat's tail. But luckily the orange at the front porch of my house hadn't suffered from the pain of rats' bite, but it's probably because it rarely grow oranges out of it's branches.
    Another time I saw a dead rat at the marketplace, it was caught by human and guess how did it die? It was caught by a mousetrap and put into a box made out of Styrofoam, which is full of water. It was drowned to death! Though I think rats may seemed really annoying in our life, but when I see their sparkling and innocent eyes they seemed quite cute.
    I think the cutest kind of rat or mouse in the world is a "jerboa".
Adorable little thing

Letter 16 - Groundhog+Chinese New Year+The hand-made book Winter camp+pop game

Letter 16 - Groundhog's Day



Groundhog?!
    I'm not really sure what is a gopher and marmot, so I went searching on the Internet and this is what I found out. And I don't think any of them exist in Taiwan, so I can't really tell their difference. But I think it's really a clever idea to predict the weather by groundhogs. 
This is a marmot which is called "土撥鼠" in Chinese, but somehow a groundhog is also called "土撥鼠", too.
Marmot, "Hug me, hug me, plz!"
