THE GARGOYLE
DAIMYO: I am a well-known personage. I have been a long while in the capital and have won my lawsuit, and now I am going back again to my province. Ho! Is my page there?
PAGE: At your service, my lord.
DAIMYO: I have been here a long time and have won my suit, so I am now going home again, but I have great faith in the deity of the Inaba Temple, for I think he has greatly favored me, so I propose to pay him a visit before I return. Do you come with me?
PAGE: Certainly, my lord.
DAIMYO: When I reach my province again I intend to build an Inaba Temple there too.
PAGE: That would be very nice, my lord.
DAIMYO: Well, here we are. Now let us pray.
PAGE: Certainly, my lord.
DAIMYO: Yes, I will build one just like this in my province, so look carefully at it.
PAGE: I will, my lord.
DAIMYO: They say it was built by Hida-no-Takumi, and indeed it is a very beautiful shrine.
PAGE: It is indeed a very fine shape.
DAIMYO: But what is that thing up there in the angle of the roof?
PAGE: That is what is called a gargoyle, my lord. It is a very fine one. But why does my lord weep?
DAIMYO: That gargoyle is exactly like my wife’s face. That’s why I weep.
PAGE: When I come to think of it it is indeed very like the mistress.
DAIMYO: Those saucer-eyes are just like hers.
PAGE: And the mouth and those great bumps on the head. The mistress’s are just as big as that.
DAIMYO: Someone must have carried her off and stuck her up there!
PAGE: It is really very strange, my lord.
DAIMYO: Then we shall have a very merry journey back! How splendid! There’s nothing to cry about now. I shall laugh all the way home!
PAGE: It is indeed a very blessed thing. How jolly we shall be!
DAIMYO: Now then, laugh! Laugh, I tell you!
