The very tiny boy approached me in the yard.
“Can you do any magic?” he asked, in Japanese.
I thought maybe I had shown him a coin trick one time. “Maybe,” I said. “What do you mean?”
“Can you turn an apple into a watermelon?”
“Huh?”
“Last week, I saw a guy on TV. He could turn things into things. He turned an apple into a watermelon.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. What’s that in the bag? Is it an apple?”
I had just returned from shopping.
“Ah, no. Sorry. It’s a loaf of bread.”
“Can you turn it into something else?”
I apologized and told him I couldn’t. “But,” I said, “I might be able to if I practice. Maybe I’ll go inside and do that now.”
This response seemed to satisfy the child.
