One morning, the man had a coffee at Starbucks. However, the coffee was too hot and he had to wait over ten minutes before he could drink it. His tongue was very sensitive, like a cat. After having a coffee, the man had his haircut at a beauty salon. A young, female technician said to the man, "Wow! You have very soft hair, like a cat!

I Had A Dream! Once upon a time, there was a boy who had a big dream.  As the man became an adult, he always said to people in his town whenever he met them, "I had a dream! Oh!"  Then, people often asked him, "What dream did you have?"  However, unfortunately, he had already forgotten his dream.  So, he answered, "I don't remember what dream I had, but I had a dream anyway!"  People said to him, "Okay! May your dream eventually come true!"  When he got old, he lived in a facility for people with dementia.  He repeated the same word, "I had a dream!"  The facility staff asked him, "What was your dream?"  He answered, "I don't remember anything but I had a dream anyway."

The production at the factory was always behind the plan, and also the defect rate of products was high. Mimizu took the problem very seriously, so she told Abraham who worked under her, "It seems that workers at factories in Sodom and Gomorrah have no work ethic. Let's see what's going on there this week. I will shut down both the factories if the
