Last Saturday and Sunday, I went hiking in Oze which is renowned for
its beautiful marshlands, wild flowers, and birds. It was nice weather for hiking that day. The sky was clear blue and the wind blew briskly.
I had been there several times before, and I'm always impressed by the abundance of nature every time I go there.

The spring season is an extremely popular time at Oze because there is an abundance of white flowers called Mizu-basho.
I didn't know the name of this flower in English, so I looked up
the word in the dictionary. Mizu-basho is called “skunk cabbage” in English. I was surprised to know that! Why skunk???
By the way, I like Oze during the autumn. In late September and early
October the grasses of the marshland turn bright yellow.
I enjoyed hiking in Oze during my favorite season!

**Teacher note -
The white flowers are called "skunk cabbage" because some of them have an unpleasant and disgusting smell, like a skunk.

Japanese Translation
尾瀬沼ハイキング
先週の土日、私は美しい湿原や野花、野鳥で有名な尾瀬にハイキングに行きました。
尾瀬はハイキング日和でした。空は青く、風はそよそよと吹いていました。
私は何度も訪れています。そして毎回、豊かな自然に感動します。
尾瀬は春の季節、非常に人気があります。それはその季節、尾瀬に水芭蕉の白い花が一面に咲くからです。
私は英語でこの花を何というのか知らなかったので、辞書で調べてみました。
水芭蕉はスカンクキャベージと英語でいうのだそうです。
私は驚きました！どうしてスカンク？？？
ところで、私は秋の尾瀬が好きです。9月の終わりや10月の初旬の湿原の草が黄色く色づくのです。
私は大好きな季節に尾瀬ハイキングを楽しみました。
