CÓMO PEDIR COMIDA Y BEBIDA EN UN RESTAURANTE 

「どうも腹が空いた。さっきから横っ腹が痛くてたまらないんだ。」
「ぼくもそうだ。もうあんまりあるきたくないな。」
「あるきたくないよ。ああ困ったなあ、何かたべたいなあ。」
「喰たべたいもんだなあ」
　二人の紳士は、ざわざわ鳴るすすきの中で、こんなことを云(い)ました。
　その時ふとうしろを見ますと、立派な一軒いっけんの西洋造りの家がありました。
　そして玄関(げんかん)には
西洋料理店
山猫軒
という札がでていました。
「君、ちょうどいい。ここはこれでなかなか開けてるんだ。入ろうじゃないか」
「おや、こんなとこにおかしいね。しかしとにかく何か食事ができるんだろう」
「もちろんできるさ。看板にそう書いてあるじゃないか」
「はいろうじゃないか。ぼくはもう何か喰べたくて倒れそうなんだ。」
　二人は玄関に立ちました。玄関は白い瀬戸(せと)の煉瓦(れんが)で組んで、実に立派なもんです。
　そして硝子(がらす)の開き戸がたって、そこに金文字でこう書いてありました。
「どなたもどうかお入りください。決してご遠慮(えんりょ)はありません」
　二人はそこで、ひどくよろこんで言(い)ました。
「こいつはどうだ、やっぱり世の中はうまくできてるねえ、きょう一日なんぎしたけれど、こんどはこんないいこともある。このうちは料理店だけれどもただでご馳走(ちそう)するんだぜ。」
「どうもそうらしい。決してご遠慮はありませんというのはその意味だ。」
　二人は戸を押おして、なかへ入りました。そこはすぐ廊下(ろうか)になっていました。その硝子戸の裏側には、金文字でこうなっていました。
「ことに肥(ふと)ったお方や若いお方は、大歓迎(だいかんげい)いたします」
　二人は大歓迎というので、もう大よろこびです。
「君、ぼくらは大歓迎にあたっているのだ。」
「ぼくらは両方兼ねてるから」

Kenji Miyazawa :THE RESTAURANT OF MANY ORDERS #2

Have you ever accidentally gotten on a bus that was going out of service?

What do you expect would happen next? The driver would probably open the door and tell you to get off, and they wouldn't start driving until the bus was empty.

But that's not what happened to two tourists in Kyoto.

When they accidentally got on a bus that was going out of service in early June, the driver just closed the doors and drove away with them still on board.

And yes, he knew they were there.

But he was afraid to talk to them because they were foreigners, and he didn't know how to communicate with them.

As The Asahi Shimbun reported, the tourists — a man and a woman — got on the bus through the back door after all the other passengers exited at Kyoto station.

When they realized what had happened, the tourists asked the driver to stop, but he didn't understand them and just kept driving.

He later said he thought it would be best to deal with them at the bus terminal office.

When the driver wouldn't stop, the tourists called the police. An officer spoke to the driver over the phone, and the driver finally stopped.

They had been driving for around 20 minutes, traveling a distance of about 4 kilometers.

The West Japan JR Bus Company said: "We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. Our employee training was insufficient, and our employee did not handle the situation correctly. We will thoroughly train our employees in the future."

Kyoto has a number of train and subway lines, but some of its most famous sites are most conveniently visited by bus — including Kiyomizudera temple in the east, and the gold-covered Kinkakuji temple in the northwest.
