Oｈ !　My God Story NO. ３８ 　


  Noise


New York is very noisy.
Especially, Manhattan, that's where I live, is very noisy.
An ambulance, a fire engine and a police car are very noisy.

The fire engine makes the biggest noise.
It's the kind of noise which is beyond imagination for Japanese.
The sound is different from siren or alarm.
It is like roaring of wild beast.

A fire engine ia red and very big.
So it looks like a red wild beast roaring and running on the street.
I think that they can't do the job if they don't have high spirits.

The building construction work is noisy, too.
They usually start at six in the morningand finish at four in the afternoon.

Oｈ ! my God.
If you are planning to live in Manhattan in the future, you must not forget to bring earplugs with you.
