Each story is presented in three unique ways.* Two stories are about Hikoichi and the third is about a girl and a mask.* GLOSS: Read the story with definitions below each line to understand completely. Every sentence is broken down word-for-word and with English explanation of the grammar.* JAPANESE ONLY: The full story in Japanese only (without the running gloss) is also provided so you can practice reading without interruption.* ENGLISH SUMMARY: Finally, we have included a simple and mostly literal English translation for you to check your understanding (Don’t cheat! Work through the Japanese first!).* Short stories make reading full Japanese texts possible.* Download the FREE MP3s and Anki flashcard decks to listen while you study.
 
Hikoichi
 
You may know our first Japanese Reader Collection Volume has several Hikoichi stories. By far, those have been the most popular among students. Hikoichi is, after all, an interesting character. Smart, sassy, creative in his laziness…In short, his adventures are entertaining. Plus, not many non-Japanese are as familiar with Hikoichi as they are Momotaro or the Moon Princess. So, be one of the few to dig in, enjoy, and learn more about Hikoichi!
 
Finally, we invite the reader to contact us with questions or requests for future Japanese readers. You will find our personal email addresses in the book. To your Japanese!

    Lyme disease is an infectious illness primarily caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected black-legged tick, commonly known as the deer tick. The disease is named after Lyme, Connecticut, where the first recognized outbreak occurred in the 1970s. Since then, Lyme disease has become the most common vector-borne disease in the United States and many parts of the world, with cases steadily increasing due to expanding tick populations and climate changes. 
The bacteria responsible for Lyme disease are typically introduced into the human bloodstream when an infected tick attaches itself to the skin and begins feeding. The early signs of Lyme disease can range from mild to severe and are often mistaken for other common illnesses. The most notable symptom is a circular, red rash, often described as a "bull's-eye," which can appear at the site of the tick bite. This rash, called erythema migrans, occurs in approximately 70-80% of patients and is considered a hallmark of early Lyme disease. However, not everyone with Lyme disease develops this rash, and other flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, and headache may also appear. 
If left untreated, Lyme disease can progress to more severe stages, where it may affect the joints, nervous system, and heart. In some cases, patients may experience chronic symptoms such as joint pain, neurological problems, and persistent fatigue, even after the initial infection has been treated. This stage is known as "post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome" (PTLDS), where symptoms can linger for months or even years.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski follows the adventures of Geralt of Rivia, a witcher, as he navigates a world filled with monsters, magic, and political intrigue. The narrative explores complex moral dilemmas and challenges the traditional notions of good and evil. Geralt encounters various creatures, such as basilisks and dopplers, that blur the lines between monster and human, and his role as a monster hunter is constantly tested. The theme of destiny plays a significant role, as characters grapple with its implications, and the narrative questions the nature of choice versus fate. The power of stories and legends is also examined, as they shape beliefs and perceptions of reality. The book delves into the intricacies of human behavior, exposing both the capacity for cruelty and compassion.
