Channa argus
A big Snakehead, about 50 cm long,   lives in the river nearby. The river is not so  clean. <strike>beautiful, and </strike>After the rain, it became much muddier than usual. The Snakehead was staying still under the grass by <strike>at</strike> the river bank.

I saw a pair of Grey-headed lapwings searching their food in the paddy <strike>rice</strike> field.
When they find <strike>a human or </strike>something approaching their nest too close, they attack the intruder severely. But when they search their food, they are gentle.

Arumy's notebook entry: Jun 16, 2010　Happy Dragon Baot Festival!

Happy Dragon Baot Festival! It will bring you luck if you eat some ZongZi. <strike>once</strike> There <strike>was</strike> is a sotry behind it <strike>here</strike>.Qu Yuan,an ancient patriotic poet in China,was exiled by the emperor Chu because of his honest suggestions about this kingdom. The emperor believed in the baddies's words except<strike> for </strike>Qu's. During the period of his exile,he had suffered a lot,he really wanted to sever<strike> for </strike>his country ,but it  <strike>there</strike> seemed no way for him,then he <strike>droped himself</strike>  jumped  into Yuan river( a rive in Hunan province in China) and<strike> then </strike>died, showing his loyalty <strike>of</strike> to his country and awakening the fool emperor. In order to show respect to this great patrotic poet, the <strike>ancients</strike> ancient in China made ZongZi on this day and <strike>throwed</strike> threw some into the rive<strike> in case</strike> to keep <strike>that</strike> the fish<strike>es</strike> from  eating <strike>ate</strike> Qu's body <strike>flesh</strike>. Although we don't throw it into the river anymore,<strike>and</strike> we still make it today and enjoy it.
