IF \Section1-3 [English ver.]

Section1 "A Person Friendly with Bees"

I hate people.

I hate people because I am a person.

I can get along with anyone but people.
I'm not sure but that's how it feels.

I've lived in the heart of a mountain since I was a kid.
Because I'm making my living with some foods around me,
I go down to cities only when I catch a terrible cold.
Having say that,
I've never been there because I've never caught.

My parents passed away when I was a baby,
which I can't recall well.

Then,
can you guess who have brought me up?
No one must believe even though I tell.

Section2 "Bees, Peaks, and Humans"

My home is also in the heart of a mountain.

I have grown up here,
and brought up that boy.

When he slept with his belly out, I put a straw blanket on him quietly.
On another day, I applied "the medicine" to his sore softly.

I love humans.

Although I am not a human,
I love humans.

Everyone here loves him.

As long as he is a human,
I can't hate humans.

After his mother gave birth to him,
she left him here to disappear to the city.

"Your parents passed away," I said to him.

Section3 "Humans who Used to Be People"

We love this forest.
However, that's why we mustn't interfere with their lives,
which is understood by them, too.

By the way, we've had a long relationship with her.
When she got pregnant, we were also gave a new life.
We understood each other.
We, loving this forest, didn't have to use any words.

It is this forest who has brought us up.
It accepted losers like us.

It has been an important place for us at some point.
It let us forget we used to be people.

However, the happiness won't last long.
Some make the forest dirty though I don't say we are right.
Therefore, we hate people.

This is why we wanted only this baby to grow up without any criticism in this place we loved.
