ある花が咲いていた。
多くの人はその花を嫌い、
防護服を着てジェット機で枯らそうとした。
そのせいで、ほとんどの花びらは
吹き飛ばされて散ってしまった。
しかしたった一輪だけ、
ジェット噴射に抗って咲き続ける花があった。
するとある時、その花を好む少年が現れた。
少年は防護服も着ずにその花に水を与え続け、
花はどんどん美しく咲くようになった。
この絵はそんな様子を描いた絵。
ぼくらの毎日も同じなんじゃないかな。
何か新しいことをしようと芽生えた
アイデアのつぼみがあっても、
時にそれを枯らそうとする人に出会うことがある。
そうすると、自信がなくなって、
そのアイデアは散っていきそうになる。
でも、それでも地道に咲き続けていれば、
いつの日かその花に水を与えてくれる人が
現れるんじゃないかな。
そう思いたいな。
A certain flower was blooming.
Many people disliked the flower and tried to kill it with jets wearing protective gear.
Because of this, most of the petals were blown away and scattered.
However, only one flower continued to bloom, defying the jets.
Then one day, a boy appeared who liked that flower.
The boy continued to water the flower without protective clothing, and the flower began to bloom more and more beautifully.
This picture depicts such a situation.
I think our everyday life is the same.
Sometimes we meet someone who tries to kill the bud of an idea that has sprouted to do something new.
Then, they lose confidence and the idea seems to dissipate.
But still, if we keep blooming steadily, someday someone will appear who will water that flower.
I would like to think so.
