Episodio 2: El zorro es más sabio

गर्मी सुरु भएको धेरै भएको थिएन । एउटा तलाउ सुक्यो । तलाउको पानीमा बाँचेका पशुपक्षी बिचल्लीमा परे । उनीहरू एक एक गरेर नयाँ तलाउको खोजीमा लागे ।

तर तलाउको कछुवालाई समस्या पर्यो । उसलाई लाग्यो, “अब मरिने भइयो ।” ...................

高校生時代の部活動

高校生の頃は、軽音楽（けいおんがく）部に所属した。元々（もともと）ピアノを習っていたが、新しい楽器（がっき）を弾（ひ）けるようになりたかったので、重低音（じゅうていおん）がかっこいいベースギターを選んだ。放課後の部活が楽しくて、当時は部活のためだけに学校に通っていたと言っても過言（かごん）ではない。文化祭（ぶんかさい）や地域（ちいき）のイベントなどで練習した楽曲（がっきょく）を披露（ひろう）したり、大会などにも参加したりした。人前（ひとまえ）で演奏（えんそう）する楽しさや、部員と切磋琢磨（せっさたくま）し合った日々は今も心に残っている。

Have you ever hurt your neck while watching TV and wondered if it's been mounted too high? Well, you're not the only one. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of people who discuss the subject on Reddit every day.

From breaking news to fandoms, and from memes to life's biggest questions, Reddit is a website that encourages people to discuss any subject that interests them.

The platform has over 100,000 communities, or "subreddits," that are created by users. And a subreddit about TV placement is in the top 1% of popular communities.

The community known as "TV Too High" is among the website's largest, with over 200,000 members. Here, photos of TVs in homes, hotels and other spaces are posted and often met with hundreds of comments discussing whether or not the TV has been placed at a good height.

One photo posted to the community in September 2024 showed a TV mounted above a door, with one user commenting, "Spiders on the ceiling fan have a great view."

Another photo showing a TV mounted above a staircase received over 500 comments, with one user saying, "This might be the worst one I've ever seen."

But is there a perfect height for a TV?

One user posted a guide based on advice from the subreddit. It included things like: "If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH," and, "If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH."

Another user posted a photo of a guide from a TV manufacturer. It said the best height for a TV when viewing while sitting down is 107 centimeters from the center of the TV screen to the floor — although some users said this was still too high!
