I want to translate a Japanese diary entry that aJapanese guy wrote into English, since I thought it was fun to read.

(Sorry, I'm afraid of my infringing a copyright.

The melon looked great on theoutside.

But after my friend had left me I cut the melon and realized it was rotten inside.

I thought something was wrong with that, and I asked him, "So, if you met him and he asked you how the melon was, would you answer, like 'It was really great.

I guess your friend might think like this, "You said it was really great, but you don't look like you mean it.

What about a return gift?

Your friend might think, " You got a wonderful melon, but you don't give me anything in return?" You could go to a department store.

The point is, if you find something weird, you should say something as soon as possible.

Or you will have to lie over and over again.

You can understand it when you think about it from the other's point of views.

What would you think if you were the one who gave the melon to someone?

Otherwise, you might think that"he told me the melon was really good, so I shouldgive one to another person."

Telling the truth is good for both you and the other person.

I read it and thought," that's right!." Especially in Japan, most Japanese people have a priority on their feeling that they don't want hurt the others, and they don't say anything.

S., I think they think being honest is a most important thing to them.

So what do you think about that?

Anyway, this entry was long!!

Someone told me this story before.

"One of my friends gave me a melon, that he bought at a grocery store.

The melon looked great onthe outside.

But after my friend had left,me I cut the melon and realized it was rotten inside.

I thought something was wrong about that, and I asked him, "So, if you met him and he asked you how the melon was, would you answer like, 'It was really great. (I'm a bit confused here. He was asking the guy who gave it to him if he would have met himself?)

I guess your friend might think like this, "You said it was really great, but you don't look like that at all. (Was all of this hypothetical?)

What about a gift for me in return?

Your friend might think, " You got the wonderful melon, but you won't give me anything for return?" You could go to a department store.

But when you buy something, you might think, "Did I eat the melon?

The point is, if you geta something weirdwired, you should tell as soon as possible.

Otherwise, you might think that he told him the melon was really good, so he would want to give one to another (the other?) person.
