私が勤める会社もブースを出展していて、お手伝いに行っていました。
My company ran a booth at the exposition, so I went there to help.

いつもは海浜幕張の駅からすぐの歩道橋を渡って会場に向うのですが、その日は何となく別のコースで
歩いていました。
Ｉ usually leave Keihin-Makuhari Station for the site crossing the footbridge near the station,
but I was just walking a different course on that day.

人通りが少ないこの歩道のガードレールの内側には芝生が植えてあり、クリスマスが近いせいか所々に
ポインセチアやシクラメンの鉢が置いてありました。
Grass was glowing along the empty sidewalk's guardrail and there were pots of poinsettia and cyclamen
in places because Christmas was coming.

ふと目をやると、その鉢の陰に大きなチョウのような生き物が見えました。
When I briefly glanced behind the pot, I found something alive which looked like a butterfly.

私はチョウの鱗粉が嫌であまり好きにはなれないのですが、青緑色に透明に輝く羽があまりに美しかったので
シャメしようと思いました。
The scales of butterflies are not to my liking, but it had such beautiful wings which were shining
clear and blue-green that I thought to take a photo with my mobile.

レンズを通して見ているときに、それと目が合ったのですが、黒くて作り物のような目はチョウではないと
感じました。
When I watched it through lens, I caught the eye of it and felt it was not a butterfly.

もっとよく見てみたかったのですが、時間がなかったのでその場を去りました。
I wanted to look at it more carefully, but I left because I didn't have enough time.

April 1st is April Fool’s Day, so in Europe and the U.S., even newspapers and TV stations play
April Fool’s jokes by reporting fabricated news on the day.
英国では妖精の存在を示す証拠が見つかったとして「妖精のミイラ」の写真が話題になりました。
The “Dead Fairy photo” became a hot topic in England, which was evidence of the presence of fairies.
