In this story, a snowman named Jingle is a selfish husband whose job is more important than his marriage. This is Part 4 of 5. 

The dance group had met in the morning for a quick rehearsal. Today was their last day to practice before the big show. 

Even though the other dancers commented that it was already good enough, Jingle and the winking snowwoman worked very hard on their close embrace. 

Then, while everyone was packing up, getting ready to go distribute their flyers… 

Ding-ding ding-ding 

The ringing came from behind Jingle. He said, “Ugh… Doesn’t Candy know how stressed I am? What does she want now?” 

He turned, but instead of his wife, he saw his snowman neighbour. Confused, Jingle went over to talk. 

“You look disturbed,” said Jingle. 

“It’s Candy. She’s been hit by a car.” 

Jingle was shocked. He noticed the neighbour was holding a candy cane. 

“This is her cane. I picked it up after the accident. I immediately called an ambulance and she was taken straight to the hospital. It’s bad, Jingle, really bad. Come with me, let’s go together.” 

Jingle hesitated. He looked at the candy cane, then at the dance group in the distance. Then back at the candy cane. 

“Thank you for bringing me this. But I can’t go with you. I’ve got to distribute these flyers today. It’s our last chance, and the whole group is counting on me. They need me. Tell Candy I’ll be there after work.”

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語学習者に向けたPodcastです。

さて、今日は大好きなコーヒーの話ではなく、お茶の話です。日本では昔からお茶が人気があります。今の若い人たちは、コーヒーが好きな人も増えているので、もしかしたら、お茶を好きな人は以前よりも減っているかもしれません。

ここでいうお茶は紅茶ではなく、緑茶や麦茶、烏龍茶のことですね。僕の英語の先生は梅昆布茶が好きだそうです。

そして、今僕が1番好きなお茶は、
ほうじ茶
です。

聞いたことありますか？
ほうじ茶（焙じ茶、ほうじちゃ）は、緑茶の一種です。
煎茶や番茶、茎茶を焙煎したものです。焙煎することを、焙じる、ほうじる、とも言いますが、たぶん、ほうじ茶にしか使わないと思います。他に聞いたことがないです。

焙煎しているので香ばしさがあります。
苦みや渋みはほとんどありません。
口当たりはあっさりです。
胃にやさしくて、ご飯を食べる時には良いそうです。

英語にすると、roasted green tea
です。僕は今オンラインコーヒーショップをしていて、自宅でコーヒーを焙煎しています。同じように、ほうじ茶も焙煎したいと考えています。

もしお茶が好き！という方がいましたら、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
