there was once a very rich merchant who had six children three boys and three girls as he was himself a man of great sense he spared no expense for their education the three daughters were all handsome but particularly the youngest indeed she was so very beautiful that in her childhood everyone called her the little beauty and being equally lovely when she was grown up nobody called her by any other name which made her sisters very jealous of her this youngest daughter was not only more handsome than her sisters but also was better tempered the two eldest were vain of their wealth and position they gave themselves a thousand heirs and refused to visit other merchants daughters nor would they condescend to be seen except with persons of quality they went every day to balls plays and public walks and always made game of their youngest sister for spending her time in reading or other useful employments as it was well known that these young ladies would have large fortunes many great merchants wished to get them for wives but the two eldest always answered that for their parts they had no thoughts of marrying anyone below a duke or an earl at least beauty had quite as many offers as her sisters but she always answered with the greatest civility that though she was much obliged to her lovers she would rather live some years longer with her father as she thought herself too young to marry it happened that by some unlucky accident the merchant suddenly lost all his fortune and had nothing left but a small cottage in the country upon this he said to his daughters while the tears ran down his cheeks my children we must now go and dwell in the cottage and try to get living by labor for we have no other means of support the two eldest replied that they did not know how to work and would not leave town for they had lovers enough who would be glad to marry them though they had no longer any fortune but in this they were mistaken for when the lovers heard what had happened they said the girls were so proud and ill-tempered that all we wanted was their fortune we are not sorry at all to see their pride brought down let them show off their heirs to their cows and sheep but everybody pitied poor beauty because she was so sweet tempered and kind to all and several gentlemen offered to marry her though she had not a penny but beauty still refused and said she could not think of leaving her poor father in this trouble at first beauty could not help sometimes crying in secret for the hardships she was now obliged to suffer but in a very short time she said to herself all the crying in the world will do me no good so i will try to be happy without a fortune when they had removed to their cottage the merchant and his three sons employed themselves in plowing and sewing the fields and working in the garden beauty also did her part for she rose by four o'clock every morning lighted the fires cleaned the house and got ready the breakfast for the whole family at first she found all this very hard but she soon grew quite used to it and thought it no hardship indeed the work greatly benefited her health when she had done she used to amuse herself with reading playing her music or singing while she spun but her two sisters were at a loss what to do to pass the time away they had their breakfast in bed and did not rise till ten o'clock then they commonly walked out but always found themselves very soon tired when they would often sit down under a shady tree and grieve for the loss of their carriage and find clothes and say to each other what a mean-spirited poor stupid creature our young sister is...

太宰治

小川のその小さい役に私は毎日1をお迎え
に参ります

誰ともわからぬ人を迎えに
市場で買い物をしてその帰りには必ず駅に

立ち寄って駅の冷たいベンチに腰を下ろし
買い物感を膝に乗せ

ぼんやり改札口を見ているのです
上り下りの電車がホームに到着するごとに

たくさんの人が電車のと口から吐き出され
どやどや改札口に行ってきて非常に怒って

いるような顔をしてパスを出したり切符を
手渡したり

それから
そそくさと脇目もふらず歩いて私の座って

いるベンチの前おっ通り駅前の広場に出て
そうして思い思いの方向に散っていく

私はぼんやり座っています
誰か一人笑って私に声を掛ける多くワイ

アー困る胸がドキドキする
考えただけでも背中に泥水をかけられた

ようにゾッとして一発丸
けれど私はやっぱり誰かを待っているの

です
いったい私は毎日ここに座って誰を待って

いるのでしょう
どんな人を

いいえ私の待っているものは人間でないか
もしれない私は人間を嫌いです

いいえ強いのです
人と顔を合わせてお変わりありませんか

寒くなりました
などと言いたくもない挨拶を言い換えに

入っているとなんだか自分ほどの嘘つきが
世界中にいないような苦しい気持ちになっ

て死にたくなります
そうしてまた相手の人もむやみに私を警戒

して当たらず障らずの政治家らもったい
ぶった嘘の感想などを述べて私はそれを

聞いて相手の人のケチな用心深さが悲しく
いよいよ世の中が嫌で嫌でたまらなくなり

ます
世の中の人というものはお互いこわばった

挨拶をして用心してそうしてお互いに疲れ
て一生を送るものなのでしょうか私は人に

会うのが嫌なのです
だから私は言うほどのことでもない限り私

の方からお友達のところへ遊びに行くこと
などは致しませんでした

家にいて
ハート二人きりで黙って縫い物をしている

と一番楽な気持ちでした
けれども言うよ大戦争が始まって周囲が

ひどく緊張してまいりましてからは私だけ
が家で毎日ぼんやりしているのが大変悪い

事のような気がしてきてなんだか不安で
ちっとも落ち着かなくなりました身を粉に

して働いて直接にお役に立ちたい気持ちな
のです

私は私の今までの生活に自信を失って
しまったのです

ジェニ黙って座っていられないと思いで
けれども外に出てみたところで私には行く

ところがどこにもありません
買い物をしてその帰りには駅に立ち寄って

ぼんやり駅の冷たいベンチに腰掛けている
のです

うどなたかひょいと現れたらという気持ち
と現れたら困る道しようという恐怖とでも

現れた時には仕方がないその人に私の命を
差し上げを私の運がその時決まってしまう

のだというような諦めにした確保とその他
様々のケチからの空想などがように

絡み合って胸がいっぱいになり窒息する
ほど苦しくなります

農家死んでいるのか分からぬような白昼の
夢を見ているようななんだか頼りない

気持ちになって眼前の人の往来の有り様も
望遠鏡を逆さに除いたみたいに小さく遠く

思われて世界が浸透になってしまうのです
私は一体何を待っているのでしょう

ひょっとしたら私は大変みたいな女なのか
もしれない

大戦争が始まってなんだか不安で美容粉に
して働いてお役に立ちたいというのは嘘で

本当はそんな立派そうな口実を設けて自身
の軽はずみな空想を実現しようと何かしら

領域作用を狙っているのかもしれない
ここにこうして座ってぼんやりした顔をし

ているけれども胸の中では不埒な計画が
遅漏遅漏燃えているような気もする

いったい私は誰を待っているのだろう
はっきりした形のものは何もないただ

もやもやしているけれども私は待っている
大戦争が始まってからは毎日毎日お買い物

の帰りには駅に立ち寄りこの冷たいベンチ
に腰をかけて待っている誰か一人笑って私

に声を掛ける多くワイアー困る私を待って
いるのはあなたでない

それではいったい私は誰を待っているの
だろう

旦那様違う恋人を気がいますお友達いやだ
お金まさか亡霊大嫌だ

もっと和やかなパッと明るい素晴らしい
ものなんだかわからない例えば歯のような

もの
いや違う

オーバー後アフ
6畑は流れる市御津やっぱり違うけれども

私は待っているのです
胸を躍らせて待っているのだ

目の前をズーロ人が通っていくあれでも
ないこれでもない私は買い物カゴを抱えて

細かく震えながら一緒に一心に待っている
のだ私を忘れないで下さいませ

毎日毎日駅へお迎えに行っては
虚しく家へ帰ってくるハタチの娘を笑わず

にどうか覚えておいてくださいませ
その小さい役の名はわざと多しえもうし

ません
oc せずともあなたはいつか私を

見かける

Trees Every Child Should Know by Julia Ellen Rogers 2 Autumn Studies Free Educational Kids' Book.
