Ryunosuke Akutagawa. The word pygmy (№ 397651)

A long time ago came to our house hairdresser, she had a daughter. I still remember the pale face of this little girl twelve years old. The hairdresser followed her manners. She punished daughter whenever she lay on the Mat, not his head tucked under a cushion. But recently I was told that shortly before the earthquake, this girl is a geisha. Hearing this, I naturally felt sorry for the girl, but at the same time, could not restrain a smile. Becoming a geisha, she no doubt following the strict teachings of his mother, puts his head under a cushion.
