I like to read all your posts aloud, and this one is like reading someone softly and kindly to sleep.

"...the sound of the little bell hung round his neck could eat sorry." What beautiful lines and images this old and gorgeously translated story is full of -- the allusion to train schedules! : ) This is a story to be read out loud to friends and family, even if some of them must be physically restrained while you're reading. Today, Friday afternoon in a hot NorCal city, the Fairy Dog's bell dispelled the air-conditioned drone of a work day afternoon in a hotel conference room and made me go outside to tune my ears to any faint tinkling.
