192. A Kite Cries "Toh, Toh"

This is a story about Sotaro Kajimoto, Oyasama's great-grandson, which took place in approximately 1887 when he was about seven. Oyasama gave him a section of a tangerine, turning it inside out by inserting Her finger. She said:

"The kite cries 'toh, toh,' and the crow, 'caw, caw,' "

and continued:

"Stick out your finger."

When he stuck out his finger, She placed the section on his finger. Sotaro enjoyed eating it that way. When he received another section of the tangerine, he, imitating Oyasama, put it on his finger, and then he stuck it out in front of Oyasama. She enjoyed eating it that way.

一九二 トンビト-ト

明治十九年頃、梶本宗太郎が、七つ頃の話。教祖が、蜜柑を下さった。蜜柑の一袋の筋を取って、背中の方から指を入れて、  

「トンビト-ト、カラスカ-カ-。」

と、仰っしゃって、

「指を出しや。」

と、仰せられ、指を出すと、その上へ載せて下さる。それを、喜んで 頂いた。

又、蜜柑の袋をもろうて、こっちも真似して、指にさして、教祖のところへヒヨ-ッと持って行くと、教祖は、それを召し上がって下さった。

Note

"Sataro" in the original publication is a typographical error. The name of Oyasama's great-grandson is "Sotaro."
