先生はすぐ返事をしなかつた。私はそれを手應のあつたやうにも思つた。また的が外れたやうにも感じた。仕方がないから後は云はない事にした。すると先生がいきなり道の端へ寄つて行つた。さうして綺麗に刈り込んだ生垣の下で、裾をまくつて小便をした。私は先生が用を足す間ぼんやり其所に立つてゐた。
translation
"The teacher didn't reply right away." I thought it was a good deal. I also felt off target. I had no choice but to say no more. Then suddenly Sensei came to the side of the road. Underneath the neatly trimmed hedges, I rolled up my hem and peeed. I stood there absentmindedly while Sensei went to the bathroom.
