| Momiji: |
We--
Yesterday, we had a class meeting. |
| Kyo: |
Huh!? |
| Momiji: |
And
One kid had bought a book before the class meeting.
The book was "Complete Collection of Laughable Stories"
That kid really likes strange books and before had brought the book "Uchuu no Stew" (Space's Stew)...... |
| Yuki: |
...What're you trying to say? |
| Momiji: |
Aah. That's right.
Um, and so we all read that book's stories together.
One of them
There was one story called "The World's most Stupid Traveller"
The foolish traveller went travelling.
If you ask how he was foolish, it's because he was easily deceived. He was fooled by the town's folk. |
| Woman: |
Medicine's cost... |
| Man: |
For seeds for the fields... |
| Momiji: |
And in that way, he was tricked out of his money, his clothes and his boots. |
| Boy: |
My younger sister's ill... |
| Momiji: |
But the traveller was stupid so he believed the town's folks' lies that "this will help them"
|
| Momiji: |
And he spilt many tears
And said "May you be happy
May you be happy"
And eventually he ended up naked.
And even he felt embarrassed
And so he decided to travel in the forests.
Only this time, he ended up meeting the monsters who lived in the forests.
The monsters wanted to eat the traveller's body and so folled him with their clever words. |
| Creature: |
I have a sick child |
| Arrow: |
Clever? |
| Momiji: |
And of course, the traveller was fooled and gave a leg or gave an arm.
And in the end, only the traveller's head was left.
And to the last monster, he gave his eyes.
|
| Momiji: |
That monster, while crunching on his eyes said
"Thank you. I'll give you a gift as thanks" and left something behind.
But that too was a lie. The present was a piece of paper that had "Fool" written on it.
But the traveller spilt tears and cried.
"Thank you
Thank you"
"It's my first gift
I'm so happy. I'm so happy.
Thank you. Thank you."
And from his empty sockets, he spilt a great many tears.
Then the traveller suddenly
Died in that way.
|
| Momiji: |
Everyone laughed. |
| Class: |
Uhyahya
What is that
That's so stupid-
That's so dumb
Let's look at some more
Aa--
Stupid-- |
| Momiji: |
Me, in all that
I closed my eyes
And thought about the traveller
Being tricked
Ending up as only a head.
Crying and saying thank you
I thought about that traveller.
And then
I thought
|
| Momiji: |
Aah how
Very sweet he is......
... loss or
hardship
Thinking about those is pointless
The traveller isn't thinking about those things.
|
| Momiji: |
It's just...
Even though some people think it's stupid
For me, it's not stupid.
Even though to others he's someone to be fooled,
I won't fool him is all.
I just want to really make them happy is all.
What about you Yuki?
......
What about you Kyo?
Do you think, even so, it's still stupid?
When you close your eyes
What do you think?
|
|
Ahh
|
|
How |
