Thank you, Professor Olsen!

        My professor of Korean Literature class is Leif Olsen. He is really nice and kind. He is a good teacher. I was really surprised at first because he knows very much things about Korean literature. Since I entered the middle school, I read and learned so many Korean literature works. However, he knows more Korean literature works than I know and he can translate all of Korean literature to English.

        One of Korean literature works which I liked was 詠井中月 (The Moon in the Well). I translated this poem in my Korean literature class.

詠井中月

The Moon in the Well

山僧貪月色

A monk in a mountain covets the light of the moon

幷汲一甁中

He raises water from the well into a bottle

到寺方應覺

However, when he gets back to the temple, he will realize

甁傾月亦空

even though he tilts the bottle, the moon is not in the bottle
