It was terrifying.
It was ugly.
It was ugly and terrifying with it's long skinny limbs and pale fur-less skin.
It's strange misshapen paws and it's flat face framed by its longish black head fur.
It didn't even have a tail!
It turned and looked at me then screamed.
IT CAN SEE ME?! how does it see me? None of the others of it's strange fur-less people can.
Father pokes his head out of the shop to see what the commotion is about. He calls it a human and welcomes it into our shop.
"IT TALKS!!!" screams the thing. Of course father talks. Why wouldn't he?
Why would father do that? Invite this strange, rude, and frightening human creature inside our shop and then give it our oden?
I notice a faint glow coming from the bag the human thing brought with it.
There a broken end of an arrow. It's a Haja-Ya!
The Human thing notices my interest. He speaks to me but I don't respond.
Then it does something that surprises me. He gives me the Haja-ya and tells me I can keep it. Why does he give me such a precious gift? Does he not know it's worth? He is smiling at me and I can't help but smile back. He thanks my father and leaves and I think that even if this human is strange and ugly and loud, he is also kind and perhaps that should be all that matters.
