Takashi Kojima 訳"I know, I know, it may be wrong to hair. But thesepeople here deserve what they get. Take this woman,
the one I was pulling the hair from: she used to cut
snakes into four-inch pieces and dry them and sell themas dried fish at the palace guardhouse. If she hadn't diedin the epidemic, she'd still be out there selling herwares. The guards loved her 'fish' and they bought it forevery meal. I don't think she was wrong to do it. She did
it to keep from starving to death. She couldn't help it.
And I don't think what I'm doing is wrong, either. It's thesame thing: I can't help it. If I don't do it, I'll starve todeath. This woman knew what it was to do what you
have to do. I think she'd understand what I'm doing toher.""Indeed, making wigs out of the hair of the dead may
seem a great evil to you, but these that are here
deserve no better. This woman, whose beautiful black
hair I was pulling, used to sell cut and dried snake flesh
at the guard barracks, saying that it was dried fish. If
she hadn't died of the plague, she'd be selling it now.
The guards liked to buy from her, and used to say her
fish was tasty. What she did couldn't be wrong, because
if she hadn't, she would have starved to death. There
was no other choice. If she knew I had to do this inorder to live, she probably wouldn't care.

The servant returned his sword to its sheath and,resting his left hand on the hilt, listened coolly to herstory. Meanwhile, his right hand played with thefestering pimple on his cheek. As he listened, a new kindof courage began to germinate in his heart---a courage
he had lacked earlier beneath the gate: one that wasmoving in a direction opposite to the courage that had
impelled him to seize the old woman. He was no longer
torn between starving to death or becoming a thief. In
his current state of mind, the very thought of starving
to death was so nearly banished from his consciousness
that it became all but unthinkable for him.

He sheathed his sword, and, with his left hand on its
hilt, he listened to her meditatively. His right handtouched the big pimple on his cheek. As he listened, acertain courage was born in his heart-the courage
which he had not had when he sat under the gate a little
while ago. A strange power was driving him in theopposite direction of the courage which he had had
when he seized the old woman. No longer did he wonder
whether he should starve to death or become a thief.
Starvation was so far from his mind that it was the lastthing that would have entered it.

"()" the servant pressed her,with mockery in his voice. Then, stepping toward her, hesuddenly shot his right hand from his pimple to thescruff of her neck. As he grasped her, his words all but
bit into her flesh: "You won't blame me, then, for taking
your clothes. That's what I have to do to keep fromstarving to death.""()" he asked in a mockingtone, when she finished talking. He took his right handfrom his pimple, and, bending forward, seized her by theneck and said sharply:"Then it's right if I rob you. I'd starve if I didn't."
