John's magical recap(recapitulation)

 

You know, Jake, considering physical fitness and being healthy, I decided to start a new

 hobby.

And after much consideration, I decided that cow wrestling was a good idea.

(Ha ha ha ha.)

Well I told Kil-dong that I was going to begin cow wrestling and he said,

"John~, you can't do that."

And I told him, "Nonsense!"

Well, you know what, he was right.

I thought that I was strong, but that cow, he didn't move at all.

I pushed and pulled, but nothing happened.

And I told Kil-dong, "Ah, you know me more than I know myself."

Well, I guess cow wrestling is not going to work for me.

We're back to square one.

(Ok. But you didn't get hurt?)

No, not yet.

(Good to know that.)

I will keep trying.

(Ha, ha ha ha.)

 

physical fitness;(좋은) 몸 컨디션, 신체 적성, 체력.
