"He no Kappa(Kappa of Fart)"
A Japanese slang term “he no kappa” translates to “kappa of fart” in English. Its meaning is the same as a task being a “cinch” or “a piece of cake". The kappa is a legendary humanoid creature that lives in the ponds and rivers of Japan.
The original phrase is “koppa no hi”. “Koppa” means “wood debris”, and “hi” means “fire”.
Fire burning wood debris doesn't take very much time, so the phrase was turned around to mean “too easy (to finish)”.
Next, “koppa no hi” was changed to “kappa no he”, then, “he no kappa”.
I wish I could say “Learning English is ‘he no kappa’ to me!”
Thank you!

Not very many revisions this time, Yuri. Good work!
