Hey! Come on out!
The storm had passed and the sky was a beautiful blue. While the villagers were discussing what to do, they found a hole in the ground. It looked dark and deep.
“Maybe it's a fox's hole,” a woman said. A young man shouted loudly into the hole, “Hey! Come on out!” However, no fox appeared. The young man picked up a stone and threw it into the hole. He couldn't hear it land.
The next day, the village became busy and noisy with activity. Reporters and scientists came from the city. One reporter tried to find out the hole's depth by lowering a weight into it. The rope wasn't long enough. A scientist played loud noises into the hole and listened for them coming back. They didn't.“Fill in the hole,” she simply suggested.
“Let me have that hole. I' ll fill it in for you,” offered a businessman.
The businessman started a hole-filling company. Trucks full of industrial waste came from far and wide. At first, this worried the villagers, but the waste all disappeared down the hole. The company grew and built a road connecting the city with the village. Next, people threw dead animals and litter into the hole. No matter what dirty things people threw into it, the hole took them all.
The hole gave peace of mind to everyone. No one thought about the results of their actions. The hole cleaned the city. The sea and sky became as clear as glass. Everyone became proud of their city.
Businesses created tall new buildings, throwing any waste into the hole. One day, a worker was on top of a building. Suddenly, he heard a strange cry from the clear blue sky:
“Hey! Come on out!”
The worker shook his head. He thought the voice must be his imagination. Then he saw a stone fall from the sky.
Adaptation of“Hey! Come on out” by Shinichi Hoshi
