:27:00
Umm, well, I usually only got important parts because there were only
a few people involved.
:27:06
I guess that when our generation was born, the amount of immigration
to the city for jobs had boomed. In other words, the population
drifted from the country to the city and the amount of younger people
has dwindled here.
:27:18
I see. So then you must have had many interesting experiences, haven't
you?
:27:24
Not really. I prefer sports meets. I may not look it, but I'm a fast
runner.
:27:32
That's good. In my case, I was always in the middle, like I was
``village child #1'' in the school play, for example.
:27:40
But the dialogue I said was something I will never forget, not for the
rest of my life. Because of that dialogue, I could have become a
star.
:27:51
A star?
:27:52
Yes.
:27:53
A star, how...?
:27:54
Because of ``village child #1''?
:27:57
Yes.
:27:59
Not because of ``Ojii-san'' or ``Oni''?
:28:01
Right. Due to my great enthusiasm.
:28:07
Were you so pretty?
:28:10
No, not like that.
:28:13
I practiced excessively in front of a mirror in my house.
:28:17
But you were ``village child #1,'' so...
:28:21
Right. The dialogue was so short I couldn't be satisfied with it even
after practicing it a hundred times. You can imagine that because the
whole thing was ``Oh, the crows are returning home. First one!''...
:28:34
I know! You added extra lines!
:28:37
You got it!
:28:41
Oh, look at that! The crows are returning home.
:28:49
First one...
:28:52
...second one...
:28:53
...third one...
:28:54
...fourth one.
:28:57
Farewell, crows! Take care!
