18 - 北極のサンタクロースと妖精たち

北極には、模様のある氷の結晶の白い雲が降っていた。サンタクロースが好む通りで、彼は気分がよかった。心地よく冷たく、景色の毛布はパリッときれいだった。

彼はチクチクする感覚を感じ、誰かが特別な願い事をしたことを思い出した。とても珍しい願い事。普通のことだけでなく、並外れたことを。ほとんど不可能なこと。良い子ならみんなご褒美を期待する陽気な大人にとっても、まさに挑戦だ。そして、いたずらっ子の男の子や女の子はみんな、遠慮する。

「あのいたずらっ子のジミー・ワトソンはどうした?」サンタクロースは大パパのエルフを見た。大パパはこの瞬間が来ることを知っていた。しばらくは恐怖を感じ、同時にほとんどの時間はほっとしていた。

大パパのエルフは、幼いジミーを監視する以上のことをしていた。サセックスのハーストモンスーという小さな村の少年の努力にすっかり魅了され、最初の
1 か月後には日記をつけ始めた。信じがたいことだ。

「サンタさん、自分でこれを読んでみたらどうだい。私の要約が誇張だとか、出来事の歪曲だとか思わないようにね。」

パパエルフはサンタクロースに日記を手渡した。サンタは警告に気付き、最悪の事態を恐れていた。最善を祈っていたが。

「重いけど、いたずらでいっぱいか、それとも親切でいっぱいか?」パパエルフは独りで笑った。その膨大な本に何が書かれているかを知っていたからだ。彼が当然誇りに思うべき記録作品だ。

「なるほど。」サンタクロースは本の最初のページを開き、黙って読んだ。顔にしわが寄り、苦笑いした。ページをめくり、独りで読んだ。「ああ。」彼の笑顔はほんの少しだけ大きくなった。彼は
3 ページ目を開いた。

 

ラップランドはジミーの進歩を監視していました。彼らはサンタに、ハーストモンスーの小さな村のこの若者が良い子になるという約束を守っていると印象づけました。それだけでなく、ジミーの揺るぎない努力は両親や学校の先生たちに絶えず喜びをもたらしました。サンタクロースは進歩の報告を確認し、大声で笑いました。ホー、ホー、ホー。彼の陽気な叫び声は彼のすべての作業場に聞こえました。エルフたちは、サンタが小さなジミーの素晴らしい業績に少なからず感銘を受けていることを知っていました。

最初、ダイノボットは電源を入れ、ジミーが機械が正しく機能していることを確認するために使用した簡単な音声コマンドに従いました。彼は自分の創造物にアンソニーと名付けました。アンソニーはその夜、スタンバイ モードになりました。ジミーが小屋に鍵をかけたときです。それからジミーはもう目を開けていられなくなり、寝室にたどり着くのがやっとでした。頭を枕に当てるとすぐに眠りに落ちました。ジミーは深い眠りを楽しんでいましたが、その間にアンソニーが生き返った夢を見ました。

Dai 18-shō - Hokkyoku no santakurōsu to yōsei-tachi

 

...

 

It was snowing white clouds of patterned iced water crystals in the North Pole. Just how Father Christmas liked it, and that put him in a good mood. Nice and cold, with a scenic blanket all crisp and clean.

 

He felt a tingling, reminding him that someone had made a special wish. A most unusual request. Not just for the ordinary, but for the extraordinary. Almost the impossible. A challenge indeed, for even the jolly big chap that all nice children look to for reward. And all naughty boys and girls fight shy of.

 

"How has that scamp Jimmy Watson done?" Santa Claus looked to Great Papa Elf. Great Papa knew this moment was coming, terrified for some of the time, and at the same time relieved, most of the time.

 

Great Papa Elf had kept more than just tabs on young Jimmy. He was so taken in by the effort of this boy from the little village of Herstmonceux in Sussex, that after the first month he'd kept a running journal. For so to be believed.

 

"You'd better have a read of this for yourself, Santa, lest you think my summary an exaggeration, or distortion of the events."

 

Papa Elf handed his journal to Father Christmas. Santa, taking note of the warning, and fearing the worst of it. Though praying for the best.

 

"Heavy it is, but filled with naughtiness, or filled with niceness?" Papa Elf smiled to himself, for he knew what was in the extensive volume. A work of record that he was rightly proud of.

 

"Aha." Santa Claus opened the volume to the first page, and read in silence. His face creased, into a wry smile. He turned the page and read to himself. "Oh." His smile growing ever so slightly. He turned to page three.

 

.....

 

Lapland had kept tabs on Jimmy's progress. They impressed on Santa, that this young man from the little village of Herstmonceux, had kept his promise to be good. Not only that, but Jimmy's unwavering efforts had brought constant joy to his parents and school teachers. Father Christmas, reviewed the progress reports, and laughed out loud: Ho, ho, ho. His mirthful roar was heard in all his workshops. The elves knew Santa was more than just a little impressed by little Jimmy's amazing achievements.

 

At first the Dinobot powered up, and obeyed simple voice commands that Jimmy used to be sure the machine was functioning correctly. He named his creation, Anthony. Anthony was put on standby mode that evening. As Jimmy locked up his shed. Then Jimmy could not keep his eyes open any longer, only just making it to his bedroom. He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Jimmy enjoying a deep sleep, during which he dreamed that Anthony, had come to life.
