Koi, Taisho exhibition, 1914, Wednesday evening

Koi sits in the field note for 1914 under “Taisho exhibition”, and the figure beside it is 1800. At the end of the children’s table, check that the label and the notebook match, and correct the notebook if they do not. Do not merge a zoo birthday with the field survey. This week, keep only the field side. China, Israel and the US grow most fish; Niigata still sells the story. At the children’s corner, open Koi so the notebook shows 1914 first, 1800 next, and “Taisho exhibition” beside them.

This week, before you open the animal book in the children’s corner, write only the name, the year, and the figure on the notebook, then read those three lines once and close the book. At home, leave the notebook on the shoe shelf and, the next morning, read the three lines aloud once, then shut it. The order is Koi, 1914, 1800, then “Taisho exhibition”. When the picture book is done, look again only at 1914 for Koi and leave 1800 on the notebook.

Do not line the species up by size, danger, or popularity. If someone asks which animal is greater, read the field entry for that year again. Check the picture-book label against the notebook, and leave any ranking space blank. Do not merge a zoo birthday with the field survey. This week, keep only the field side. Match Taisho exhibition with 1800 at the children’s corner before you close 1914 for Koi. Koi sits in the field note for 1914 under “Taisho exhibition”, and the figure beside it is 1800.
