Death Nest 投稿者:Cinos  投稿日:11月04日(木)22時39分06秒

      I love the name of that bar "Death Nest"
      When I open the door and enter the bar, there is only counter there.
      It is quite narrow stand bar, and there are only four stoles there.
      Beyond the counter there is a bartender.  But it is so dark that I can't
      see his face.
      "Gimlet, please," say I, "Yes, sir" he says.
      He starts to shake very slowly.
      "Hey, master, your good shaker," say I, "Thank you, sir" he says.
      Gimlet is not so good, but not so bad.  It is so so.
      "Master, I love the name of your bar," say I, "Thank you, sir" he replys.
      "But "Death Nest" is gramatically wrong.  "Dead Nest" is correct, isn't it?" ask I,
      "Oh, really, sir?" he answers.
      ""Death" is noun.  You must use adjective "Dead" before "Nest", mustn't you?" say I,
      "You must be right.  Thank you so much for teaching me it," he says politely.
      "You need "The", too.  "The Dead Nest" is better," say I, "Oh, we need "The".
      Thank you for such a wonderful suggestion, sir" he says gentlely.
      "But I think it's a boring name.  You'd better change the name which is
      affective for the customers," say I, "You are right.  You are a very clever
      man, sir" he says.
      "Hey, Stand bar?  Ha?  It's not on time.  And drink is not so good.
      Why can you work here?" ask I, "Um, as you say it's right, sir" he says.
      "No snacks.  You'd better give peanuts or cheese to us," say I,
      "Oh, you need snacks?  Sorry, I don't notice that,sir" he says.
      "And no music.  Jazz or something, we need," say I,
      "Sorry for no music, sir" he says.
      "Girls!  We need girls, who are pretty and ... you know," say I,
      "Haha, girls.  You know much about this job,sir" he says.
      "And you must talk much more.  Very boring," say I,
      "Well, sir, this is for you," he give me another coctail to me.
      "What's this?" ask I, "Death Nest, no, The Dead Nest, sir." he answer.
      I drink and it is a little hot.
      "What's thissss" ask I, "It's "Shinosu (Dead Vinegar)" he answer.

      Then the bar becomes quiet again...

      ***I hope that Morisato correct English, thanks.
      ***I used all present tense, but is it very strange, isn't it?
