英語で日記 4: 動いたおはじき Ohajiki marbles that have moved

先日のこと。帰宅後、猫の額ほどのベランダに出てボーっとしていたら、ん、何か変だな、となりました。数秒後、その違和感の正体が判明。数十cmほどの高さのブロック塀に散りばめておいたおはじきが動いている。しかも赤は赤、青は青、黄色は黄色、という風に色ごとに丁寧にまとまって。わたしはアパートの一階に住んでいて、塀自体も低い(その上に格子状のフェンスがある)から、確かに近所の子供とかが時々触っていたけど、それにしても留守中になんと大胆な。

A few days ago... After I got home, I was chilling in my tiny tiny yard and then it suddenly occurred to me, "Something looks different." A few seconds later, I figured out what it was. Ohajiki marbles, which I had left scattered on the block wall, have moved. What's more, they were now placed neatly by color, red pieces were clustered together, similarly for the blue ones and yellows ones.  I live on the first floor in my apartment complex and yes, the wall is low, so sometimes, kids in the neighborhood play with them, but while I was not home, it was pretty bold of them!!
