「A」という大きな船に穴が開きました。犯人は船員の声を無視して船を酷使し続けた船長です。船長は浸水を食い止めるために、船員たちからタバコを奪いとって、開いた穴に詰めています。まるで寓話だね。きっと外から見れば哀れに映るのだろう。

A ship named "A" got a huge hole on her side. The captain should have listened to his crew and took better care of her, but it was too late. He is trying to fill the hole with the tobacco he confiscated from the crew. Sounds like a made-up story, doesn't it? Funny but at the same time very sad.

I am talking about a story. For me it's a fable, and some of you may think it ridiculous and with no meaning. Once upon a time, a big ship named “A” got a hole. Responsibility was undoubtedly the captain's who had overdriven the ship for years and years, ignoring repeated criticism or advice of his member clues. To solve the dangerous situation, he worked very hard to fix the hole with bundles of tobacco that he tipped over from his fellow clue members. How do you give your answer to this ridiculour Zen-like question?
