  Driving School Once upon a time, there was a man who was an immigrant to the U.S. from Japan. The man had just found a good job as an instructor at a driving school. One day, he taught a boy who was also from Japan. Both the man and the boy had difficulty with English sound "R" or "L." The man could not pronounce "R" sound, and the boy could not pronounce "L" sound.  They started the lesson on the real streets. The teacher gave the boy a direction, "Okay, turn Light at the next block." The student replied, "Okay, I will turn Right." The boy turned right. The man gave him the next direction, "Good, then turn Left at the next signal." The student said, "Sure, I'm turning Reft." The boy asked a question, "Should I make a turn Right?" The teacher answered, "That's Light!"

Actually, anyone who wanted to apply to a job offer was required to provide that information in their resume, and also include a photo with it. Otherwise, the resume would simply be returned to the applicant.  The man finally had started his own business as a sandwich man. One day, he was standing in front of a sandwich shop in Shinkaichi arcade, wearing an advertising sign. Someone said to the man, “Sir, can I play your trumpet?” It was a teenaged girl. The man said to the girl, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am someone who likes music.” He handed his trumpet to her, “Okay!” She played the trumpet in a funny way; leading the sandwich man. The man said to the girl, “Call me Zampanò, and I will call you Gel...
