いや～
秋も深くなって来ると
思い出すことわざがありますね～
それは
実るほど
頭が下がる 稲穂かな
いいね～
あ、長崎アゲハくんのことではありません
彼は、ついに糸が切れて 落下しちゃったし～
（やばい奴）
いや～
私の事でもありません
（当り前）
ま、とにかく
今夜はこのことわざの意味を
深く噛みしめながら

My Classmates
4. The Truth is?
Dear my readers.
Do you remember that I told you about my five classmates a few days ago?
Because of the immense stress caused by Mary’s homework (sorry, Mary!), I myself have utterly forgotten that I talked about them….Ha.
I think I also showed you six lines that would complete the sentence: I want to write a novel because..., remember that?
Then, you were given the answers about Hank and Chris, right?
Can I borrow your ears for a while now, so that tonight I can conclude this short but discontinuous text of mine, please?
So, there were three ladies left unanswered, excluding me:
An ambitious high school teacher (and self-claimed novelist!?), Jill, who declared very proudly and honestly that she had been taking an online writing course for the past ten years.
(Such a long time!)
Her nickname was an online godmother, wasn’t it?
The next woman was a lawyer, Molly.
She can be a single mom, I told you, right?
Well, I presume she is, because she lives alone with her daughter near the sea.
(Gosh! I really envy her regarding the place to live. )
Yet, she sounded pretty modest, because she described about her own story like:
My work needs much tending, clarity and simplicity.
Well, MY work also needs revisions and simplification, far more than her story.
(I must be modest, too).
The last person was an insightful Margot, who came from Philippine.
Even if she is not a native speaker of English, she has a large vocabulary and a splended sense of language, of which I am endlessly envious.
The fact that she has two 30-something daughters confides her maturity to us.
At the moment, with a brilliant working career as her weapon, she is looking for a job that suits her in America.
An extremely tough woman!
Now, let me give you four lines again.
1) I want to write a novel because it helps me to learn about myself, and to share what I have with the people who read my novel. (Insightful..)
2) ............because I love telling stories and it is an acceptable outlet for my compulsive lying. (True and honest…)
3) .....because I want to prove to myself that I can. (Very modest…)
4) ............because, one day standing in my 45th year, I saw a rider-less horse come toward me, galloping, galloping…(Wow, very poetic…!)
Okay, please rely on your intuition.
And, it might be a good idea if you look at each key word that was kindly given to you in describing each of us.
A poetic who? A modest woman? Who are honest or insightful?
Your common sense might suggest that:
Poetic Poet Calico Cat loves horses, a modest Molly wants to show us her ability to write, whereas a high school teacher Jill wants to learn more about herself, and a smart Margot wishes to use a difficult word – compulsive?
(I apologize for my long sentence...No offense, please.)
Well…if you say so, you are innocently misled by me!
Please don’t be surprised if a lawyer Molly can be sometimes so poetic! (She loves horses and galloping!)
A high school teacher Jill loves to tell a lie!
(Normally, teachers are that kind of people?)
An intelligent Margot is also very modest, as the proverb says that the boughs that bear most hang lowest…
And, please remember that I can be, once in a while, observant and want to share my stories with you all the time!
You are worth it, and everyone I love deserves to enjoy my inconsistent but charmng stories…!! Yes?
Thank you so much for reading my tonight's long text.
Good night, everyone.
My precious readers!
Poet Calico Cat
