Message about the work:

The town is filled with sunlight and is full of cheerful, lively people. The sun

shines brightly for three days every weekend, and residents spend their weekends
camping in nearby fields or lakes, playing baseball or tennis, and enjoying themselves. Some people enjoy going shopping with their families, or harvesting or sowing seeds in their home gardens to grow something. It rains once a week in this town, and it is a gentle rain that creates a rainbow. A large bridge that shines in seven colors slowly wets the entire town, and it also brings gentle rain to the flowers in the flower beds and the watering places for the birds. When the rain stops, the sun peeks out from between the clouds and shines on every corner of the town, smiling as always. In spring, the sun shines on the new buds, and for children on summer vacation, its strong rays burn the skin brown. On warm summer afternoons, the mother and child cats on the veranda feel sleepy, and the north wind sways the dead leaves. Even as the harsh winter approaches, the sun continues to shine. It stays with this town all year round and brings us the light of happiness.
