I was a little busy this week and could finish it just now. As discussed before there wasn’t much of a mystery but still fun to read though. It was also a bit harder than last week. (I realized how much grammar points I still lack.) However, thanks to the discussions of everyone it was a lot easier than reading by myself. @Radish8 I was thinking of the same thing while reading! Letting the cat eat the whole cake? Poor fella will just die 😄 ---

Right?! I think it was at least not a super icing-heavy cake - looked more like a castella or something. ---

I just catched up and finished this week’s pages. I was very distracted with the other book, so I couldn’t get to it sooner. I’ve no additional questions as everything I would asked about was already answered. So, the door with the bat was a cupboard? Where’s that mentioned?I thought it was the door of the room of one of the boys lol It was definitely a nice little story! Also special thanks to @Radish8 for the long answer post to @marcusp - It not only answered a lot of questions of mine, but it also made me realize that I should try to focus more on what’s happening in the story. I was like “Oh, the boy got out of the cupboard and was scolded? Where, when?” and went back in the book to check and voilà, even with a picture. While concentrating on understanding the grammar and words I don’t really follow what’s happening. But it’s so nice to realize it afterwards and then understand everything a lot better when going back and rereading the sentences. ---

The amount of time I’m reading Yotsuba for example and have found myself so bogged down in vocab and grammar that I pretty much forget to look at the rest of the sentence, let alone the pictures! > [@Kappa420](#): > > But it’s so nice to realize it afterwards and then understand everything a lot better when going back and rereading the sentences. Same here! Thanks for expressing so well just how I feel! 👍 ---
