Excerpt from Magpies in the Maple Tree:

There is a maple tree by the ferry in our village, and I like it very much. It seemed like a big and tall green sun umbrella that was always open. Its green shade shaded the village ferry. There was a magpie's nest in the maple tree that I loved.

Yes, I loved to stand under the maple tree and look up at the magpie's nest. I often feel like the magpie talks to me and I call her Auntie Magpie in my mind like in the fairy tale books.
