However, the sale made him busy. He decided to hire someone. A lady came to the bookstore. Her name was Miss Button. He decided to hire her. He thought that she was very perfect because she liked cats and cheese. He and Cobweb liked cheese very much. He took a fancy to her. However, he could not tell his feelings.

Shrimp is put in Osechi Ryouri in order to wish for a long life. Black soybeans are put in Osechi Ryouri in order to wish for health. The foods which are put in Osechi Ryouri have meaning.

New Year’s cards are a very important thing to exchange New Year’s greetings, so most Japanese send them to relatives and friends and acquaintances. Most children get money at New Year.
