BR-13 The Mountain of Flowers

"The mountain witch was not a ghost."

I chose this book because this book's cover was interesting.The Japanese mountain witch is expressed for very fearful existence,it was not treated as fearful existence in this story.Girl,Aya who come out to this story,she lost the mountain and has been crowded.She met a mountain witch and heard a funny thing by Yamanba."A flower blooming if nice to somebody."Aya handed over the red clothing which oneself wanted to buy to Soyo of the younger sister.Then small floral art founded a flower in the step of Aya.In addition,the twin babies who come out to a story,twin older brothers born later handed over that he drank milk to a gluttonous younger brother.By one drop of tears of the older brother by having handed over that he drank milk,floral art founded a flower.

If I am nice to somebody who a mountain witch is,she receive kindness and let a beautiful flower bloom to the people for thanks.I thought that the mountain witch who came out to this story was a good person.As for me,Aya seems to have sold a kimono to a younger sister,I intended to be nice to a person.A mountain witch is a fierce woman of gray hair long visually,it was a mild,tender person.The person thought that it was not appearance.
