OH DEER: a day in the life of a Miyajiman deer

This is Fred. He comes from Miyajima island in Japan. He likes to make friends.

Mainly because his friends always give him food. He loves food. He loves eating food. And paper. Nothing goes better in a rice bowl than some flakes of seaweed and paper.

He spends most of his days sunbathing underneath the Sakura with his pal Carl.

Fred: "Sup Carl?"

Sometimes he and Carl hang out with their human friends, like Haruto-san here.

Having a chat with Haruto-San underneath the blossoms.

Fred: "It's nice to have someone to talk to about M-theory Haruto-san. It's a little too complicated for Carl here."

Fred also loves to go on walks by the coast and urges as many of his friends to go with him.

Fred: "Konnichiwa Mimi! Join Carl and I for a walk to the pagoda?"

And so off they go. The three muskedeers. Yes I did just make that horrific pun.

*trot trot trot*

But Mimi is such a lazy thing. She always ends up slowing the group down. 

"Guys can we not just chill here for a bit?"

Mimi: "Ok guys you just go on ahead. I'll catch up later with my scooter."

Sadly Fred and Carl never make it too the pagoda. They are stopped by a rice-bowl restaurant and the treasures it puts on display have Carl gaping wide-eyed and hungry.

Carl: "OMG"

Carl: "They have edamame and paper napkins. Score!"

So our heroes never make it to the 5-storey pagoda but stuff themselves silly and end their adventure with a siesta in the sun. Nothing better than soaking in those rays Fred.

THE END
