[00:26.41]The Lullaby
[00:34.58]摇篮曲
[00:43.76]While leaving the house to go to school,
[00:46.43]I glanced at the garbage can.
[00:49.24]The head of the doll was peering out of the top,
[00:53.22]exposing her face.
[00:55.51]A chill came over me, and I quickened my pace.
[01:00.04]When I came home from school,
[01:02.17]I again had to pass the garbage can.
[01:05.24]I glanced towards it once more.
[01:07.67]The eyes followed me while I was walking by her.
[01:12.06]I thought that I was seeing things, so I repeated it.
[01:16.53]No, I was not seeing things.
[01:18.82]I ran into the house in hysterics.
[01:21.53]My dad happened to be home,
[01:23.85]and hardly being able to get the words out,
[01:26.92]I told him what had just happened.
[01:30.06]My dad immediately called the Bishop
[01:32.94]and he came over and got the doll.
[01:35.74]To this day, I do not know what came of the doll.
[01:40.05]I don't know what type of spirit possessed 1 the doll,
[01:43.32]but I feel that it wasn't out to hurt me in any way.
[01:48.55]From time to time, I think about the lullaby,
[01:51.61]but can't remember the lyrics 2 that were sung
[01:54.66]...no matter how hard I concentrate.
[01:57.86]I never questioned my neighbors about the doll,
[02:00.55]so whether they experienced the same thing,
[02:03.13]I will never know.
[02:04.70]I've spoken with others since I related the story,
[02:08.13]those who actually make porcelain 3 dolls.
[02:11.01]They also believe that there is something inside those dolls
[02:14.71]...something uncomprehendable,
[02:17.05]but that they are of good spirits
[02:19.35]and nothing to be frightened of.
[02:21.71]Since that day, I let go of collecting dolls.
