Once upon a Time


Once upon a time, he fell in love with a girl.
He presented a birthday gift to her, hoping to get a blessing for return.
The summer day came. He waited and waited until the end of that day.
No message, no blessing.
“Ok. Maybe it is not enough” he sighed.

When attracted, he strayed from the path of a scholar.
When enchanted, he lost samurai spirit.

When enthralled, he was a man with no name.

The next birthday, he presented a better gift, hoping that impressed her.
The summer day came. He waited and waited until the end of that day.
No message, no blessing.
Hereafter he kept silent.

Day after day, he used up of his time in books.
Night after night, he ran out the rest of energy in dojo.
The summer day came. He left for a journey, long enough to spread his name.

Once upon a time, there was a man who was both a scholar and a samurai.
