The Bread Grandpa and His Pigeons — A Fictional Portrait (JLPT N4)

Every morning at six, a small old man arrives at the neighborhood park to feed the pigeons. Locals call him the Bread Grandpa. From a worn paper bag he pulls leftover bread from the previous day, cuts it into tiny pieces on a bench, and offers it to the ten or so birds at his feet. Since his wife died five years ago, he says, the house felt unbearable alone, so he chose to come here every single day — rain or snow. His hands shake a little, but the way he breaks the bread is gentle. A JLPT N4 Japanese reading, beginner Japanese essay, and Japanese profile for self-study learners. A fictional portrait by Tadorimichi.
