A: Hey Hana! Did you hear about something interesting in the news?

B: Oh, hi Kenji! No, what’s up?

A: It's about a woman from the Philippines. Her name is Rosalina.

B: Really? What’s her story?

A: Well, a long time ago, she was considered Japanese, because her dad was Japanese. But then he disappeared during the war.

B: Wow, that’s sad. So, she lost her connection to Japan?

A: Exactly! Now she's 95 years old and going to Japan for the first time! The government is helping her.

B: No way! That’s amazing! Is she alone?

A: Nope! Her daughter, Rosita, is with her. They’re both excited but a little nervous too.

B: I can imagine! What did her dad do?

A: He was a farmer on an island in the Philippines. He wasn’t around much, but she remembers meeting him when she was little.

B: That’s so interesting. Where’s she going in Japan?

A: She’s going to Tottori Prefecture. She wants to visit his grave. It’s happening on Friday!

B: That’s a really touching trip. I hope she has a good time!
