“

One day when I was tidying up my home, I lost the fountain pen I had been using for 6 years. Panic-stricken, I exclaimed myself: "My God, what a catastrophe! I will never manage to draw without that fountain pen that has been following me for so many years! It's impossible to work! This fountain pen has always accompanied me through hard blows and joys! What will I become?!" By dint of search, I ended up finding a new fountain pen. Today I'm thinking: "A new fountain pen, it's not so bad..." I'm a jackass, aren't I?

もう６年も使っているペン軸をうっかり、大掃除の時、捨ててしまったらしい。『たっ大変だ！！しっくりなじんだ、そのペン軸でなければ絵が描けないッ！仕事にならないッ！苦しい時も楽しい時もいっしょだった、あのペン軸！どっそうしよう！？』と探しまわったが、かわりに新品のペン軸をみつけ、今では『新品はいいな…』としっかりなじんでしまった。ぼくは、いいかげんなヤツでしょうか？
