Scarecrow's Love

Epilogue

"I am a scarecrow"

"I've always had so many complaints about this body."

"But I am just a scarecrow chasing sparrows in vain."

"One day"

"I felt very bad when I heard a song sung by the neighborhood children."

"Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, the birds are flying away. The kind scarecrow stands tall all day long."

"I didn't pay any attention until the first verse, but the second verse really got to me."

"Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, the birds are flying away. The angry scarecrow stands tall all day."

"I was so angry when I heard these lyrics. They'd done all they could to scare away the birds that were destroying our crops, and now they're making up songs like this and discriminating against us."

"I felt a great deal of anger at the children who sang this song and the adults who taught this song to children."

"In a life where I feel discriminated against like that"

"A family moved in."

"One of the boys in that family greeted me with such a bright expression."

"I just brushed it off as if it was nothing special."

"That child picked a cosmos flower from the flower garden and put it in my hand."

"I felt strange when I received this flower."

"I'm 6 years old as a scarecrow nylon and 13 years old as a human nylon."

"I don't know if it's because I was young or not."

"Through this flower"

"I guess love is an uninvited guest."
