Shrimp on the Scenic Viewpoint

Shrimp on the Scenic Viewpoint

At the lookout point, I always look into the distance first, then at my feet. It's fun to see what has fallen at my feet because it allows me to imagine the people who spent time at the lookout point. Unexpected items are often found, making me envision someone brushing their teeth while enjoying the view or combing their hair in the strong wind.

One day, I was surprised to find a lot of shrimp tails at the lookout point on the mountain. But it did seem like the perfect place to eat a lot of shrimp. I went home, boiled some shrimp, and returned to the lookout point. There, I ate the shrimp, imagining the person who had eaten shrimp at the same spot before.

見晴らし台のエビ

見晴らし台ではいつも、遠くを眺めた後に、足元を眺める。足元に落ちているものを見ていると、見晴らし台で時間を過ごした人たちのことを想像できるから楽しい。結構意外なものが落ちていて、この風景を見ながら歯を磨いた人とか、強風の中で髪を梳かした人とか、色々な人々の姿が浮かんでくる。

 

ある日、山の上の見晴台に、たくさんのエビの尻尾が落ちていて驚いた。でも確かにそこは、たくさんのエビを食べるのにぴったりな場所のようにも思えた。家に帰ってエビを茹でて、もう一度見晴らし台に向かった。そして、そこでエビを食べた人を想像しながらエビを食べた。
