私が小学生のときに住んでいた家は、大通りから細い坂道を上ったところにあった。学校からおなかをすかせて帰るときや、自転車をこいで上るときなどは特に大変で、この細い坂道が嫌だった。
先日、久しぶりにその家まで行ってみてびっくりした。大通りから思ったより早く家に着いてしまい、あの坂道は実はこんなに短かったのだなと思った。
子供の目には世界が大きく見えると聞くが、なるほどと納得した。

The house where I lived when I was in elementary school was at the top of a narrow slope leading up from a main road. It was especially hard when I came home from school hungry or rode my bicycle uphill, so I disliked that narrow slope.
The other day, I visited that house for the first time in a long while and was surprised. I reached the house from the main road sooner than I expected and realized that the slope had actually been this short.
I had heard that the world looks bigger through a child’s eyes, and now I understood exactly what that meant.
