Daniela was lying on the floor of the living room reading a book when she heard a noise at the front door. She recognized it as the sound of the mailman dropping off the post, so she got up and proceeded to collect the mail. Upon opening the door, Daniela was surprised to find a parcel addressed to her.
Bringing it back with her into the living room, Daniela opened the package and pulled out a letter from Sophie.
Dear Daniela,
I am currently on vacation with my family in Japan. There are so many wonderful forms of arts and crafts here, and I’ve especially fallen in love with amigurumi! We’re on a tight schedule so I’ll have to keep this letter short. Hope you like the amigurumi taiyaki (I ate a real taiyaki yesterday and it was delicious). Tell you more when I’m back.
Love,
Sophie
Daniela tipped over the envelope and out came a fish made of yarn. Now she was confused and full of questions. What is “amigurumi”? What is “taiyaki”? Is this brown fish taiyaki? These puzzling thoughts whirled around in Daniela’s head. She decided that a trip to the library was needed again to do a bit of research.
Stay tuned for next week’s story on how Daniela visits the library to find out what “amigurumi” and “taiyaki” are.

I love amigurumi!
