Chapter III

THE NEWSPAPER BOY (TRANSLATION)


I.
     "Oh, this is wonderful . . ." I think.
     Once when I was feeling as though my shoulders were loaded with the pressures of responsibility, I suddenly met someone who helped rid me of my burdens. It gave me such a comfortable, happy feeling.

     When I first came to Tokyo, the first month passed in a blur. By the middle of that month I was spending every day, from dawn until deep in the night, walking through Tokyo, stopping at each and every employment agency. I would divide the city and surrounding suburban areas into several sections, then walked through each section, carrying job advertisements that I'd copied from the newspaper. I searched everywhere for a job but until not I still hadn't found anything. Of the thiry dollars I brought with me to tokyo, I only had six dollars and twenty cents left. When I left home I gave ten dollars to my mother, brothers and sisters, but it had already been a month since I left and the money must have nearly been all gone by then.
