長ぐつをはいた猫
ある日、三人の息子が遺産を分けることになり、一番上の息子が風車、二番目の息子はロバ、そして末の息子がは猫を一匹という分け前になりました。
上の二人の息子は合わせて働けば立派に暮らしていけるのに、自分は猫を食べたあと残った毛皮で手袋をこしらえたらお終いだと末の息子は嘆きました。
しかし、それを聞いた猫は袋を一つと長靴を一足こしらえてくれれば、幸せにしてくれるという。
末の息子はあてにはしていなかったものの、猫の言うとおりに袋と長靴をこしらえたのだった。

2025 Japanese book reading challenge book 2 (JLPT N3)
An extended adaptation of the Puss in Boots story aimed at Japanese school children that fleshes out the story with a lot more detail, some humour and two alternate endings depending if you want the classic fairystory ending or a bit more action to wrap things up; which amused me.
Fun read, though by the end I just wanted to finish it.
By now I know I can read books of this level in Japanese, but they're going to require a lot of vocabulary checking and using chatgpt to help parse some confusing sentences. The good thing it that once I do that it clicks quickly now and I can see how the Japanese structure works. It is just a case if keep reading and more exposure now. I am alrrdy noting vocabulary, phrases and structures that I know I was hving to loom up last year that I know check to confirm or can just read. This is the curse of the intermediate student, the sheer grind needed to build that level of vocab to naturalise your skill.
