"Hiragana "I"" comes from the character "以"

Hiragana is a set of characters that came from writing Kanji in a quick, flowing way.
The Kanji that Hiragana "I" came from is "Based on your prompt, it looks like your input text ended abruptly at "以" (I). If you meant to send text starting with or containing "以", please provide the full Japanese text! Once you paste it, I will translate it right away according to all of your rules." is what it is.
If you write the left side and right side of "以" smoothly, you get Hiragana "I" made of two lines!
You can see how the left and right sides are separated, just like in the Hiragana "I" we use today.

Make the collar pop by picking a color different from the fur, like red or blue!

Hold your pencil the right way and slowly trace over the gray lines.
The vertical and horizontal dotted lines inside the box show you the middle of the letter.
Don't forget to trace the little flick at the end of the first stroke, too!
It is okay to go slow at first, so write each one carefully.
When you finish tracing, check if you stayed inside the gray lines.
You can even draw a big flower mark on the one you wrote best!

Dogs are smell experts

A dog's nose can tell smells apart much better than a human's.
That is why some dogs work as police dogs that find people or things by scent, and others work as rescue dogs that look for people during disasters.

Every nose pattern is different

A dog's nose has tiny patterns on its surface.
This pattern is called a nose print, and just like human fingerprints, every single one is different.
When you look at a dog up close, check out its nose!

The "Iroha Song" also starts with Hiragana "I"

Long ago, people used a song called the "Iroha Song" to learn hiragana.
It starts with "I-ro-ha-ni-ho-he-to" and uses almost every hiragana character once, without repeating any sounds.
Just like "A-I-U-E-O" starts with "A", "I-ro-ha" starts with Hiragana "I".

Dolphins are not fish

The dolphin on the second coloring page lives in the sea, but it is not a fish. It is a mammal, just like you!
It breathes air by coming up to the water's surface using the blowhole on top of its head.
Dolphin babies are born from their mothers, too.
