昨日の夕方、外の草に、いくつの凧揚げをした人を見た。三つの凧揚げがあって、二つは長型の、一つは方型の。私が見たとき、長型の一つはもう高く飛んでいた、ほかの二つは、向こうの体育館と同じ高さくらいに飛んでいた。私は先に見つけたのはその二つのだった。とても可愛いと思って、それらのご主人様はきっとどこかにいたと思った。そして、あちこちへ探して見た。下の草に人があまりいなさそうだったけど、やはり一人を見つけた。そのおじいさんの姿から知ってた、彼はきっとある凧揚げさんのご主人だと。でも、そのご主人様の向いた方法は反対だったわね。で、そのおじいさんの視線へ見ると、西の空に、太陽の輝きがあふれ出した白雲の前に、とても小さい見えた凧揚げさん一つあった。確かに、凧揚げがとても高いところへ飛べることが知っているけど、でも、私はその時の凧揚げと空を見たとたんに、うきうきいられなかった。その光景、本当に素晴らしかったわ！その長型さんは、まるで遠いお日様があるところへ昇りたいように。うん、素晴らしかったの！
では、ほかの二つを見てね。そっちも一生懸命で昇っていたの。同じ素晴らしかった。そして、先日の雨もうやんだ、その雨上がった空に、凧揚げさんたちが健気に上っていた。やっと、少し後で、二つの凧揚げさんも上がった。凧揚げさん皆も、たった三つの小さな黒い点になってきた。太陽はまだ輝き、数多かった白雲の前に、その黒い点が小さすぎたかもしれないけれど、それが凧揚げと知っている人にとってもういいの。と言うわけで、大空と小さな凧揚げと、すごい大きさの差があっている、でも、不思議なことに、私から、意外に調和な感じがしていたわね。
それは空、凧揚げのハーモニーって。

In the twilight of yesterday, I saw some people were playing kites. There I saw 3 kites, two of them were long and one was squared. In the 2 long kites, one had flight in the high sky and the others were flying at the same height as our gym when I saw them. What I saw firstly were the lower kites, I thought their players were must be somewhere nearly so I tried to seek them. Finally I found one, an old uncle; from his movements I could know that he must be one player. But where he looked forward was not same as the two kites, and when I looked toward his sight I found another kite. In the west sky, in front of white clouds which sunlight flowed out, it flight highly. Although I have had known that kites can fly very high, I was still excited by that kite, and I could not impress this feeling. To say something about that scene, that was wonderful! Like wanted to reach for the sun, the kite was flying. Yes, that did, was wonderful!
Now, I turned to look the other two kites, they were also trying to fly higher. This scene was also wonderful! The rain in these days had stopped, now in the cleared sky, the kites were flying. Soon later, all the three kites were in the high sky, and I could only see three little black points there. The sunlight was still dazzled, and on the background consisted with lots of white clouds, the kites points were so small. However, in the people’s mind who knows the little points were kites, little kites were all right. In my own mind, they did, were the marvel. Surely, the difference of scale between the vast sky and the little kites is big, but such a scene was so harmony, and that was also the feeling what mystified me.
Yes, there was sky, kites, and harmony.
