My nieces has just turned 3years and 6years old were playing in the yard.
There is a bamboo thicket near our house. We can see it well from the yard. The bamboo thicket was being shaken by a strong wind.
My nieces like TONARI-NO TOTORO. When they see a forest and a big wood, those always remaind them of TOTORO.
I knew that episode, so I pointed to the bamboo thicket and I said. "It might be TOTORO in that place."
And 3years niece called out. "TOTORO~!"
She was so cute that I said again. "Was TOTORO able to here what you said? Why don't you call again?"
She called out again. "TOTORO~!"
-bang!!- Then the SUNOKO(it's a draining floor board for a bathroom) leaning against the wall fell suddenly.
They opened their eyes wide in astonishment. At once I said. "TOTORO may has come here…” And they were glad at that episode.
After that, a small episode which a neighbor's cat came to them happened again.
They began to talk about those episodes to their mother and grandmother as soon as they came in the house.
We wish they would keep having such a dream.
I am worried about that the tragic incident which the children was involved has been increasing lately. I can only do, maybe I will keep to have it strongly, we ought not to victimize the weak such as children, women, old people.
