There was a stuffed tortoise in one corner of the small rise.

I have a bit of a problem with the story of Urashima Taro.
Maybe it is because I played Urashima Taro at the end of my four years at nursery school or the year before.
It was unreasonable to think that saving the tortoise would cause him to have a hard time.
And why do he want to return home after leaving behind his happy days in the Dragon's Palace? If his reason for returning home is his concern for those he has left behind, why don't Otohime and the turtle tell Urashima Taro that a long time has passed?
I think I heard a line similar to my thoughts in Urusei Yatsura 2 Beautiful Dreamer.
If it's a well-made dream, it's better to live in the dream world.
I can hardly remember the play about Urashima Taro in nursery school. Nor why I played Urashima Taro.
However, one day, a while after the play was over, I cannot forget what happened.
Naptime was over, we had eaten our snacks, and it was time to go home. In a corner of the school yard, they were burning props from the play, such as Urashima Taro's waistcoat and fishing rod. Someone who saw this pointed at me and said that Urashima Taro was being burnt.
I was so frustrated, sad and angry.
When I got home, I told my mother about it,
If you get angry and cry over something like that, you won't be able to live. There are plenty of people who say nasty things. She told me.
People who gleefully say things that people don't like. If there are as many people as my mother says there are, I really didn't want to live in such a world.
浦島太郎の物語が苦手だ。
４年通っていた保育園の最後か、その前年浦島太郎を演じた所為かもしれないのだが。
亀を助けたことが、却って、彼が辛い思いをすることになる＿というのが理不尽だった。
それに竜宮城での幸せな日々を捨ててまで何故故郷へ戻ろうとするのか。帰郷の理由が故郷に残した人々への思いであるなら、遥かな時間が過ぎてしまっていることを乙姫も亀も何故浦島太郎へ教えないのか。
そんな思いに通じるようなセリフを、うる星やつら2 ビューティフル・ドリーマーの中でも聞いた気がする。
よくできた夢なら、夢の世界で暮らすほうが良い。
保育園での浦島太郎の劇は、ほとんど覚えていない。私が浦島太郎を演じた理由も。
ただ、お遊戯会が終わって暫く経った或る日の出来事は忘れられない。
お昼寝が終わり、オヤツを食べて、もう帰るころ。園庭の片隅で、浦島太郎の腰蓑や釣り竿など、劇の小道具を燃やしていた。それを見た誰かが浦島太郎が燃やされていると私を指さしながら囃し立てた。
悔しくて悲しくて腹が立って仕方がなかった。
家に帰ってから、それを母に告げると、
そんなことぐらいで怒ったり泣いたりしていたら生きていけないよ。嫌なことを言う人間は一杯いるのだから。と諭された。
人の嫌がることを嬉しそうに言う人間が本当に一杯いるのなら、そんな世界では生きていたくない＿と心から思ったものだ。
