Summary

The Town Where the Dead Have No Voice

Once upon a time, there was a mysterious town where many ghosts lived. The residents of this town were not troubled by those who had just passed away but were always concerned about the deceased. This was because the spirits had continuously appealed to them to clear up the doubts surrounding past events. However, the townspeople forgot the proverb "the dead have no voice" and no one attempted to listen to the spirits' voices.

One day, a young man from the town named Hiroshi came up with an interesting idea to liven up the town. "Let's ask the dead!" he suggested. However, the residents laughed it off and coldly replied, "The dead have no voice." Hiroshi did not give up and decided to find a way to converse with the ghosts himself.

That night, Hiroshi went to the cemetery and spoke to the spirit of a deceased person named Takashi. "Everyone misunderstands you. Can you tell me the truth?" Initially surprised, Takashi was impressed by Hiroshi's enthusiasm and began to tell him stories from the past. The truth behind the incident that caused Takashi's death stemmed from misunderstandings.

Hiroshi brought this story back and shared it with the townspeople. As everyone listened, Hiroshi's words spread throughout the town. The residents, who were initially wary, gradually began to understand their past and came to respect the deceased. They realized that instead of "the dead have no voice," listening to their truths would make the town a better place. Since then, the town became a place of understanding and connection, rather than doubt.
