This book has 3 short story,and all stories from Africa.
Joey worked very hard,but it was not rich living.
He always dreaming that walking in the strrets of Tokyo and London.
But it couldn't...

This book is very moving story,so I feel a little sad.
I feel I could live with very rich surroundings,but people in poor country are hard to live.
I want to know about them much more. (

Joey likes to go up to the balcony in the airport building and watch the passengers in their clothes getting off the plane.They always carry bags and cameras,and strange and mysterious things from faraway countries.He spends some time with a man called Mazambezi(meant 'rubbish collector') behind his back,pushing his wheelbarrow,with the rubbish collected from the airport.
This book has some stories.But I don't like anything.One of the reasons is that the word 'vomit' is used many times in the first story... (

This book has 3 short stories.And all has almost same situations.
Of the 3, the third story impressed me most.
It was about leaving.

I think this is very deep and sad story.
But I could have a good time to think about the world I would seldom imagine.We should read this stories and think deeply.
Maybe these change your mind. (

There are three stories about African poor people.First story is about the old man and the boy in the rubbish dump.Second is about the boy and his grandmather try to change their place.Three is about the clever boy's conflict between entering the foreign college and his family.
I think people in Aflica have a hard life.So,I should thank for my experiment.I will enjoy my life. (

I pick up "The Rubbish Dump".
Joey is a boy in Africa.
He goes to airport because he likes to see airplane.
He comes across Mazambezi, the name meant "rubbish collector".

After I read this story, I considered my life in Japan.
Rich country people throw away garbage, while poor country people
pick up it and sometimes eat it.
I was shocked about that.
I think that thing I can do is not to waste food. (
