鳶に油揚げ - A kite snatched my food

今日は鎌倉の浜辺に出たのだが、驚きの出来事があった。昼過ぎにフォカッチャをつまんで僅かな残りを手にしていたら、背後から肩越しに鳥が超高速でそれをかっさらっていった。指にツメでかすられた傷が浅く残った。昔、遭遇したパリのスリと同じで、遠くからよく観察しているもんだ。


Today we went to the beach in Kamakura where something amazing happened to me. It was about the noon, and I was eating a focaccia and in my hand was a small piece of it just to be finished, and at that very moment from my back a bird snatched it over my shoulder in a blink. A shallow scratch of the claw is left on my finger. Exactly like the pickpocket I encountered in Paris many years ago, they watch things from a distance.
