日本拖鞋的故事 Japanese slippers’ story




1950年代,小孩子没什么东西可玩,只有往外跑。放学后,把书包一丢,吃了饭,差不多四点钟罢,必打开后门往精武会的沙场上跑,在猛猛的大太阳底下,把拖鞋一甩,就玩起官兵捉贼老鹰抓小鸡‘A,E,I,O,U 定型人等等户外游戏,玩到满身臭汗,阿嬷在后门大叫回来冲凉啊!,我们就匆匆忙忙要穿回拖鞋,哎哟!整堆日本拖鞋失去了踪影,赤着脚走回去,阿嬷怒发冲冠,拔出武器,给我们一顿黄鳝焖猪肉,也就是大腿吃藤条,哭哭啼啼后,晚上每个人有一双新的日本拖鞋。

好笑的是,第二天下午,同样的事情再发生多一次,这次打得我们又跳又叫又兜着走。。从今以后没得去后面玩了!


In the 1950s, children didn’t have much things to play.  After school, we would throw the school bag aside, had our lunch, at about four in the afternoon, we opened the back door and ran to the 'Jing Wu' sand field and played under the hot sun, slippers flung aside, we would play 'the officer catches thieves ',' Eagle catches chicken ', ' A, E, I, O, U – the statue' and all the outdoor games, played till the whole body soaked with smelly sweat, Grandma shouted loudly at the back door ' Come back and take your showers right now ah! '. We hurried to the place where we flung our slippers, oh no! the whole heap of Japanese slippers disappeared, we had to walk back barefooted, Grandma bristle, pull out her weapons, give us a meal she named it 'eel stew with pork', which means ‘the thigh eating cane’, all of us cried out loud, when the night fell, each of us got a new pair of Japanese Slippers.
Funny thing was, in the next afternoon, the same thing happened again one more time, this time when the cane touches our thigh,  we danced and shouted loudly and jumped up and down, from that day on, we were not allowed to go out in the afternoon again!
