Souricette et Jacquot
Souricette a trouvé un morceau de fromage derrière un meuble. Elle le grignote, installée sur la table de la cuisine. Tout à coup, elle entend une petite voix crier :
- Que fais-tu là, Souricette ? Tu veux bien lâcher ce fromage ou j’appelle le chat !
Souricette court se réfugier dans son trou, et tremble de peur. Elle pointe son museau pour voir qui a parlé… C’est Jacquot, le perroquet ! Il a voulu lui faire une farce et se balance en chantant sur son perchoir.
- C’est malin, dit Souricette, j’ai perdu mon fromage!
- Mais non, répond Jacquot, il est ici, près de ma cage. Viens, nous allons bavarder tous les deux. Tu pourras manger tranquillement. Nous ne parlerons pas du chat, c’est promis.

Histoire 34 - Souricette et Jacquot

あれから月日がたち、カンパネラが３０歳になったとき、帝国の極秘任務として『森』の地質調査をまかされました。調査隊は防護スーツに身をつつみ、高速エレベーターで5000メートル下へおりていきます。

調査隊員になっとたき、カンパネラは人類の進化の歴史をしりました。
700年まえ、人口の増加にともない、超高層ビルが立ちならびました。それでも人口においつかないため、ビルはどんどん高くなる一方でした。やがて、ビルの上層階どうしが蜘蛛の巣のようにつながっていき、あっというまに空中帝国が生まれました。

多くの人間は、進化したゆたかな生活をもとめ、空中帝国へとうつり住みましたが、一部の人間は『森』にのこり、『森』とともに生きる暮らしをえらびました。
空中帝国に住む人間と『森』に住む人間は、そのときにわかれてしまったのです。
