1996/4/23 COCO Fairy School Play



(dream) I am at a school where I am a student or a teacher. It is a private school, with pre-kindergarten through college students and impressively splendid facilities. Everybody is moving to the assembly hall, an enormous number of people. There is a theatre rehearsal upcoming. I meet Mr. Noto in the hall on the way. "So, Mr. Noto has come to the neighborhood." We exchange greetings for the time being, I'll catch up with him later. I enter the auditorium, it is free seating. Seemingly a good spot, I sit in the front row of the rearmost block of seats. I don't know for certain, but I hear that every student, pre-kindergarten through college, appears in the play. The pre-kindergarten act begins first. I am thinking how tiny and adorable they are as I watch with glazed eyes. Suddenly a glass case of about an arms-width is brought in and placed right in front of me. Inside, the youngest students are giving their performance. They're dwarfs aren't they? They are adorable and I am touched. At this minuscule size, however, the seats in the rear cannot see at all.
