揺れキウイカメラ構えてまわり見る 68 I pointed my camera at the swaying kiwi and looked around.

少し前、朝の散歩の時に人家の垣根で風に揺れているキウイを発見！

私は、折角なので、新しく買ったカメラをキウイに向けた。そこで、急に頭に浮かんだのは、「李下に冠を正さず」という諺。

やばい、キウイの実を取っていると思われてないだろうかと、心配になった。

でも、誓って言っておくが、撮ったのは写真だけ。

因みに、キウイは学術的には、またたびの一種らしい。つまり、猫にとっての麻薬。でも、この実には効用がなく、枝や根っこにまたたびと同じ効果があるらしい。

実の方に寄って行くのは、人間と鳥だけかもしれない。

A little while ago, when I was taking a morning walk, I found a kiwi swaying in the wind at the fence of a house!

I took the chance to point my newly bought camera at the kiwi. Then, what suddenly came to my mind was the proverb, "Don't straighten the crown under Lee."

I was worried that people might think I was picking kiwi fruit.

But I swear I only took pictures.

By the way, kiwi is scientifically a kind of matatabi. A drug for cats. However, this fruit has no effect, and it seems that the branches and roots have the same effect again and again.

Humans and birds may be the only ones that approach the fruit.
