Tokyo Lesson
By
Y Lee Coyote <YLeeCoyote@Lycosmail.com>
I was thrilled to be in Tokyo. It was so different than home. Oh, the traffic was as bad as anywhere in the West but it was so exciting. I was dashing from one thrilling place to another like a decapitated chicken. It was most intoxicating and I was planing to relish every delicious second.
I had just gotten my ticket to the temple complex when I spied the little food shop across the street. I dashed between the cars, got some snacks and was back at the temple complex pronto. I was munching as I wandered about in amazement. It was like being in the sixteenth century Edo for some people were in period costumes.
Seconds later there were two big guys blocking my way. They looked like Samurai that had escaped from Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai" -- complete with the two swords in their belts. "You need to be taught some manners -- Western boy." sneered one of them in English. Then before I could move they picked me up and carried me to the temple courtyard, pausing on the steps to put on their sandals. There I was dumped on the ground. When I tried to get up, one of them forced me back down with his foot.
"We are the EDO DISCIPLINE GROUP ECHELON. You have endangered others by crossing the street away from the zebra. You have dishonored the Gods by not removing your shoes in the Temple. You have been rude by eating as you walk."
As I lay there stunned, the other added: "You will be punished; here and how."
They pulled me to my feet and pulled down my pants. Quickly I was bent over a railing and then beaten with some sort of stick that hurt like a western cane. I got twelve very hard cuts. I felt like an English schoolboy who's Headmaster had just canned him.
"You will stay like that for an hour."
"You will behave properly in the future or...." he never finished the warning.
I stayed on exhibit for sometime with lots of people looking. Some had seen me lose much 'face' and others just admired my beaten butt. Eventually, I was told to get up and leave. I was given the sign that they had put by me explaining why my hot red bare butt had been on display for a souvenir.
This one is being punished for endangered us by crossing the street away from the zebra; for dishonoring the Gods by not removing his shoes in the Temple and for being rude by eating as he walked.

A typically quirky little Y Lee tale where the western habit of eating fast food just about everywhere is suitably dealt with !. I thought this was a light hearted tale which didn't grab me particularly and the name of the 'brotherhood' was a wee bit contrived, but an OK sort of read.

This is a simple story with a not-too-surprising twist. What makes it rather more wonderful is the element of a traveler's tale or journal. The rather flat telling of an exciting moment gave the story much more authenticity. Well done.
