EPIGRAPH: On his return, after many year's absence,
Kenji-san went to see his blind friend.
He told him of Abyssinia, that mysterious land,
of his many adventures there.
'So, Keiichi,' he said, when he had finished.
'What do you think of Abyssinia?'
'It sounds like a magical place,' his friend said,
as if returning from a dream.
'But I lied to you,' Kenji-san said. 'I was never there.'
'I know, his friend replied. 'But I was.'
