筆者が小学1年生の時の出来事。 学校で足が痛み、先生たちが靴を脱ぐよう促すが、筆者はどうしても脱
ごうとしない。
POINTE
Mr. Stewart lifted me onto his desk. “Let me take a look.” He was just about to take the shoe
off when I saw the hole. I grabbed the shoe and pulled it on and held it. The stinging hurt more,
the tighter I held onto the shoe.
POINTCO
"Why won't you let us take off your shoe ?" Mr. Stewart asked as he looked from me to
5 Miss Bell and back at me in puzzlement.
Miss Womble, the fifth-grade teacher, came into the office. “Can I help? I know her; she
lives next door to me."
“I suspect ants are in her shoes and stinging *the living daylights out of her, but she won't
let us take off her shoes,” said Miss Bell.
POINT
Miss Womble was a great neighbor. She had even played *Annie-over with us on occasion.
She put both hands on my shaking shoulders and looked into my worried, red eyes.
"Oh, yes," she said, as if remembering a fact. "I had a bite from one of those ants. Did you
know they are sock eaters ? By the time I got my shoe off, that ant had eaten almost the entire
bottom off my sock.” She nodded her head up and down as she looked at the other two adults.
15 “Must be sock-eater ants.”
POINT POINT >>
They returned the nod, as if they also had been bitten by sock-eating ants.
“Let me see here.” She freed my heel from the shoe. “Just what I thought. Those sock
ants have eaten part of her sock.”
POINT
Miss Bell opened the medicine cabinet, got a cotton ball, and *saturated it with alcohol.
20 Miss Womble slipped off my shoe and sock and shook both of them over the gray trash
bucket. Two red ants fell into the waiting container. A stray one ran for the wall, but Mr.
Stewart's shoe stopped him.
My *swollen foot throbbed. My stomach hurt. My head ached.
Stroking the alcohol ball across the angry bites, Miss Womble lifted her head and smiled
at me. “I think she's going to be okay now," she said, as she looked toward the two adults.
The bell rang, ending the break period. “It's class time,” Mr. Stewart said, as he and
Miss Bell hurried to their jobs.
(イ) The alcohol felt cool on the stings.
POINT
“You were a pretty brave girl to take that many bites. I think you should leave this shoe
and sock off for a while." She helped me off the desk. “Wait for me after school, and we'll
walk home together.”
POINT
Pride can be a wonderful, terrible thing. I knew that Miss Womble had saved my pride
ith (ウ) her sock-eating ant story. (エ) She had seen that Ⅰ would rather be stung to death
