湖山長者 ~ちょっとざんねんなお金持ちの話~

Graded readers level 3 are essential reading material for beginners

Graded readers level 3 are finally feeling more like real (albeit simple) japanese stories. They also feature a bit more variety and depth, in this example it´s about a wealthy rice farm owner.

Highly recommended to read as much of these as you can find, to make the transition to real native material quicker.
