Wooden Fish Reflection Paper [Weekly Short Short Note]

When I was in elementary school, I had a friend who was the son of a temple priest. We often played together inside the temple. That summer, the cicadas were buzzing loudly. The sound of the wooden fish and the chanting of sutras echoed through the temple. I remember that time very well.

"Come to think of it, have you done your summer homework?"

"I've finished everything. How about you?"

"As expected of a priest's son. I still have my reflection paper left. The theme was a reflection on summer memories, right?"

"Summer memories, huh."

"I didn't go anywhere this summer, so my memory is just playing with you at the temple."

Just then, the sound of a wooden fish could be heard.

"How about a 'Wooden Fish Reflection Paper'? When you think of a temple, you think of a wooden fish, right?"

My friend suggested that, so I said that sounds good, let's go with that, and started thinking about the content.

I spent the entire afternoon of the last day of summer vacation, and my friend even helped me think it through.

The sound of the wooden fish and the chanting of sutras, along with the sweltering heat and the deafening sound of the cicadas.

But when summer vacation ends, all of that will be gone.

That became the content of my reflection paper.

*I drank too much yesterday. But I was able to eat freshly fried kushikatsu for the first time in a while, so I'll call it a win.
