âPlease come inside,â said Basho. He slipped off his sandals and left them outside. He picked up a bundle of wood, then ducked through the low door that led into his hut.
Jack and Annie took off their shoes, too, and followed Basho into a small, shadowy room.
Basho opened his shutters to let in the evening air. âPlease sit,â he said.
âThank you,â said Jack and Annie. Jack looked around the room for chairs, but there werenât any. The only furniture was a low wooden table and a bamboo chest. Three straw mats covered the earthen floor. Jack and Annie sat down on one of the mats.
Basho lit a small oil lamp. Then he made a fire in his fireplace. âI will prepare tea for us,â he said. âRest while I draw water from the river.â He picked up one of the two wooden buckets near the door and headed outside.
When Basho was gone, Jack and Annie looked at each other. âI guess this is a three-mat house,â said Annie.
Jack nodded. âYouâd think a famous teacher of the samurai would have a hundred-mat house ⦠or at least a fifty-mat house,â he said.
âI like this house, though,â said Annie. âItâs cozy.â
âI wonder who Basho is exactly,â said Jack.
âIf heâs famous, maybe heâs in our book,â said Annie. âLook him up.â
âGood idea,â said Jack. He pulled the research book out of his bag. By the light of the crackling fire, he looked up Basho in the index. âHe is here!â Jack turned to the right page and read aloud.
Basho is one of Japanâs greatest poets.
He wrote short, beautiful poems that
speak to people as clearly today as they
did during the Edo period of Japan.
