A boy was made a fool by his father. He ran to the main street, but there was no fire not like that his father told him. He was so angry that he wished his father dead.
It was the first of April.
Next day he took a walk with his father as usual as every Sunday. He liked walking and staying with his father. However, suddenly, a big black dog attacked his father. He could do nothing to help his father. The dog was biting his father. Surely it was a mad dog. Then a car was coming, and he asked to the driver to help his father. The car ran around his father and the dog twice, but ran away.
His father told him ‘Go home!’ So he ran back to his house thinking that the dog was biting his father to death. At the time he saw his mother, he hardly said anything. He just said ‘Daddy is dead.’
His mother got out of the house. While staying alone in his house, he looked at a photo in which his parents were laughing. It was taken when he wasn’t born yet.
He thought the father’s death was his fault, because he had wished and he had told.
Then the door of the house opened and his parents appeared. His father’s arm was in a white sling. His father was alive!
Now he was happy and no reason to regret.

Dodgeという車に乗っていた人にお父さんは、助けてもらうように指示して、犬はその人が呼んで来た人に頭を撃ちぬかれて死んだということなんでしょうか。
子どもの頃、ちょっといけないことを願って、それが本当になってしまったとき、すごい罪悪感を持ってしまうものですよね。
少年の年齢、いくつくらいでしょう

One Saturday morning, his father said "There was a large blazing fire". He was so angry about his father's childish joke. It was the first of April. He had wished his father dead secretly. But it didn't take long for him to forget things. He took for a walk with his father on next day.
While he watched sticklebacks and water beetles, his father sat at the edge of the dike staring for a long time, wiped his glasses for a better look. He didn't do anything but smoked Players. These are the best hours of the week. When they were about to go home, a large black dog ran toward them. It was a Bouvier de Flandres. They tried to keep walking but the dog jumped around them barking. Finally the dog got its teeth into the black raincoat his father had in his arm. There was no one around to help his father. His father had to confront this wild dog until someone helped him. The boy swayed and had the car stopping. But the man in the car once stopped, he accelerated and disappeared. The boy ran away as soon as he heard his father's scream "Go away". He was bleeding all over. The boy was quite sure that his father was bitten to death.
When he got home, he even couldn't say a word, he just cried and shook"Dad is dead" That was what he said to his mother. Nothing had changed but his father's absence. He grabbed the portrait of his father and mother. He had thought of that the day before and it had happened.
When the door opened he heard his father's voice. He survived. His mother prepared the tea for three. All three of them stirred their teaspoons at the same time. He and his father lived at the same time.
