I`m currently teleworking, teaching students by Zoom. It`s very useful for teaching English. Have you used it? What for? Anyway, between classes, I made this. What is it? What`s it for?

I will put the answer in comments tomorrow night!

While my kids were playing in the park, I poked around a nearby mound of dirt & found some interesting items, including a tiny brown bottle.On one side it says キンカン (kinkan) & on the other side 金冠堂 (kinkandou). I looked online & found out that this is a brand of anti-itching, insect bite medicine, which is still sold today. I couldn`t find out exactly how old this bottle it is, but maybe about 70 years old.

Vocabulary:
find = 見つける
find out = 分かる, 探り当てる (?)
