イタリヤの流行作家は、ちょっと気が利かない人で、出版社の使い走りの小僧へお駄賃をやらない。

このことに小僧は憤慨し、ある日、扉の開け閉めをギィー！　廊下をバタバタ駆けるという不作法をする。

流行作家先生、小僧を注意して、自分が使い走り、小僧を先生として、礼儀を教える。

This is a story that Encho learned from a teacher at school.

A popular writer in Italy was a bit of an unprincipled man who did not pay his errand boy at the publishing house.

This upset the boy so much that one day, when he opened and closed the door, he screamed!　One day, the boy is so upset about this that he opens the door and shouts, "Gee!

The writer, who was a popular writer, warned the boy and taught him manners, using himself as the errand boy and the boy as his teacher.

8月の東京、学生たちは帰省したり、海は山へ遊びに行き、残っているのは呑んだくれくらいだった。

そんな連中が本郷のバーで集まって呑んでるうち、「どこか出かけよう」となって東京駅へ行って汽車に乗った。

田舎駅で降りて、真夜中の道を歩いているうちに、向こうから提灯の灯りが見えてきた。

It was August in Tokyo, the students had gone home, the sea had gone to the mountains, and the only ones left were the drunkards.

While we were drinking at a bar in Hongo, we decided to go out somewhere, so we went to Tokyo Station and took a train.

We got off the train at a country station, and as we were walking down the street in the middle of the night, we could see the lights of lanterns from the other side.

『木曽の怪物』

明治23年の3月。父は軽井沢に逗留していた。

信濃路は大雪で、宿屋より外へは出られず、日々、囲炉裏を囲んでいると、

山の漁師が鹿を撃ったばかりの担いでやってきたので、腿だけを買って、夜に遊びに来いというと、

猟師はやってきて、木曽の怪物（エテモノ）の話をしてくれた。

The Monster of Kiso

It was March of 1889. My father was staying in Karuizawa.

It was snowing so hard on the Shinano Road that he couldn't go out of the inn, so he spent his days sitting around the hearth.

A mountain hunter came carrying a deer he had just shot, and told him to buy only the thighs and come and play at night.

The hunter came and told me about the monsters of Kiso.

知人友人から聞いた人魂の話。

第1話：「人魂の中身」

第2話：「海の家で見た人魂」

第3話：「星降る谷」

中国山脈の播磨と但馬の国境の谷あいに、僅か十数戸の部落があった。生業は云うまでもなく炭焼と猟師であった。

明治十五六年比ごろの秋のある日、一人の旅僧がやって来て、勘右衛門という猟師の家の門口に立ち、一夜の宿を乞うた。

勘右衛門の女房と娘は、むさくるしい処でもお厭いといなくば、と泊めた。

帰宅した亭主も旅僧を疑わず、其の夜は、旅僧から旅の話を聞いて珍らしがった。

悪天候が続いたので、旅僧はしかたなく逗留することになったが、娘の千代は、日一日と旅僧になじんでいった。

また一方、旅僧の方でも、千代の美しい姿にひきつけられているようであった。

In the Chugoku Mountains, in a valley on the border between Harima and Tajima, there was a tribe of only a dozen or so houses. Needless to say, they were charcoal burners and hunters.

One day in autumn around the 15th year of Meiji, a traveling monk came to the door of a hunter named Kanemon and asked for a place to stay for the night.

Kan'emon's wife and daughter were willing to let him stay, even though it was a disgusting place.

When he returned home, the master of the house did not suspect the monk, and that night he was delighted to hear the monk's stories about his travels.

As the weather continued to be bad, the monk had no choice but to stay, and his daughter Chiyo became more and more familiar with him day by day.

The monk also seemed to be attracted to Chiyo's beautiful figure.
