This is a 'heavily' excellent article which I bought in New York and carried in my arms all the way to Japan. To be exact, it was so heavy that the airline refused to put it in my suitcase; therefore I could not but carry it with me into a plane as if it was nothing. But it was really something. After arriving at Kansai Airport, its weight decided me to put it in my suitcase. Sad to say, however, wheels of the suitcase were melted down before I took a hundred steps forward to my home. It was the worst situation.
This is not a fiction but a good example which shows that a man could do a lot for something he likes.
Finally I got home to place the petrified wood at the entrance, which has never been moved from the exact point. |

Petrifaction, one kind of fossilization, occurs when chemical changes cause a mineral to grow, grain by grain, in place of the original tissues of the animal or plant. Growth rings, like those that can be seen in the wood of trees living today, show clearly in those polished surfaces of petrified wood. They provide useful information about the seasonal growth of those trees, and the climate at the time those trees were living. |
