お風呂は素晴らしい。そう再確認させてくれるのが、バスタイムを楽しんでいる、かわいらしい動物たちだ。皆さんもぜひ、湯船にお湯をためてゆったりとからだを沈め、これから紹介する愛らしい動物たちのように、心からお風呂を楽しんでほしい。
お風呂に入るべきかどうか、考えているんだね？
確かに、ちょっと普段とは違う感じがするよね。
湯船がけっこう狭いときもあるし。
でも、泡はいいよね！
泡って最高。
おいしそうすぎて食べちゃうこともあるけど。
大好きなお風呂のおもちゃもある。
ときには、お風呂仲間もいる。
背中を流してもらえるって、気持ちいいよね。
手が届きにくいところもあるし。
お風呂に入ると、ぜったい、リフレッシュできるよね。
きれいになるしさ。
すごくきれいになるよ。
あまり気持ちよくて、眠っちゃうかも。
気がつけば長湯しすぎて、お湯が冷めちゃってるときも。
全身がふやけちゃったり。
お湯につかってるばかりで、ちゃんと洗うのを忘れてたね。
お湯から出たくないよ。
いつも思うけど、やっぱりお風呂は最高だね。

BAKERSFIELD, CA - FEBRUARY 6: A dog hangs around an abandoned farmhouse on February 6, 2014 near Bakersfield, California. Now in its third straight year of unprecedented drought, California is experiencing its driest year on record, dating back 119 years and possible the worst in the past 500 years. Grasslands that support cattle have dried up, forcing ranchers to feed them expensive supplemental hay to keep them from starving or to sell at least some of their herds, and farmers are struggling with diminishing crop water and whether to plant or to tear out permanent crops which use water year-round like almond trees. About 17 rural communities could run out of drinking water within several weeks and politicians are pushing to undo laws that protect several endangered species.

A pair of Mute Swans in flight near City Island January 30, 2014 in New York. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has proposed declaring the swans a prohibited invasive species and set a goal to eliminate virtually all of the 2,200 swans in the state by 2025. In Britain, wild swans may be prized for their beauty and protected by the Queen, but the US state of New York has declared war on them, branding them a violent menace. Draft proposals to kill or resettle the state\'s 2,200 wild mute swans by 2025 may be supported by some conservationists but have sparked uproar among animal rights activists. Mute swans were brought to North America by European settlers to adorn their estates in the late 1800s but the authorities no longer consider them a beauty worthy of roaming free.
