This book is a classic story about the boy who cried wolf. I can tell based on the pictures alone and I think that helped with the translation a bit. For instance, I managed to pick up on sheep when it appeared the shepherd. I think that knowing this story beforehand helped me get into the story. I was excited to translate the boy who cried wolf. It also shows me that this story can reach people around the world. I think that's really cool, it's a good story to tell people so it would make sense that the story spread as wide as it did.

The mall in the special video I saw was much cooler than the one I went to. Three floors and it looks much newer than the one I'm used to. The one I go to seems like it hasn't had an update in years and the shops seem... shady. Maybe that's just the lighting. The Japanese mall has a bunch of cool shops as well, some you would expect and some you wouldn't. Toy stores, clothes stores, and restaurants are all expected. What I wasn't expecting was just an entire grocery store in the mall. That caught me off guard, you technically only expect clothes and whatnot in malls. There were also a lot of arcades which was very cool to see. There's a lot of cool stuff in malls and I wonder why malls where I live are so uninteresting. The only mall I can think of that's as interesting would be the Mall of America with...
