Rashomon

「Rashomon」is a transliteration of Japanese vocabulary, it is a short story written by jiechuanlongzhijie, 「Rashomon」means the insolvable puzzle caused by different statements of stakeholders in a specific event, just as the matter of the story. My friend, Doris remind me of the term by her funny story.

She told me that her three friends had a chat on MSN messesger, talking about a girl they all knew before, They can't believe that the girl has favorable impression on them and try to keep in touch with them one by one at the net meeting. Maybe the three male were right for their conception, but interesting point is that they can hardly to ask the key person in this situation. If they do, I guess the answer won't be as simple as "Yes" is. Maybe the girl think that the three male all stuck on her, she just show her goodness to them. That will be another Rashomon-like story.

The funny story also recalled my memory, there was another story for the different situation. I have three friends, John, Tom and Carl, they knew a girl-Ellie on the party, Ellie is a cute and beautifule girl. She made John display great ardor for Ellie, he made chances for him to meet with Ellie, picked her up to go home, and he aslo give tulips to her for his earnest. Tom and Carl always play roles of walking part in John's scenario, they enjoy to be the facilitators for John, and try to make John happy. unfortunately, Ellie seems to recognize John as a friend, not her mate.

Tom worked for the same company as Ellie, Ellie walked by and chatted with him frequently in the mean time, Tom was wondering whether Ellie like him or not? He know John is fond of Eliie, and so he didn't involve in the whirlpool of John's loving story, but personally witness the whole event. Carl is the one who was Ellie's favorate person, but he coundn't make a decision to accept Ellie's love, because he was not ready for being in love with anyone, besides, he made sure that friend is forever, but girl is everywhere.

The similiar scenario repeatly performed among the four person, because they all play the role who they want to be, then there woundn't be any thing new for the coming days. It's happen that I am the friend of the three guys, so I acquired the enough information to make the love story clear, otherwise it will be「Rashomon」again.
