– there is an old hereditary book
– that is bound in Japanese style
– the oldest sons of my ancestors have given it
– an airing on some summer sunny day
– across the generations annually
– though it has already been bitten by ancient insects
– (there was some ancestors who had
– the careless characters and/or the slovenly minds
– or there were some incidents/disasters/wars
– that they could not control at that time)
– it has been no better than a rag
– because it is riddled with insects’ tunnels
– and if we could read some lines fortunately
– it is written by Japanese style Chinese classics
– that i cannot understand just to see
– as a member of the museum fan club
– keeps his member’s card in his pocket warm
– I wish me not to come of the senior’s oldest child
– who is the successor to the family
– as the chief of a clan
