beyond labels

at a gift shop...

me:  'ei, rikkaluma!  i've been seeing this online!'

saleslady:  'rilakkuma, ma'am...'

me:  'ooops...  hehe...  sorry...'

me:  'what is rilakkuma?  is it a bear, a bird, what?'

saleslady:  'rilakkuma is a bear, ma'am...'

me, pointing to an item labeled rilakkuma:  'how come this one has wings?'

saleslady:  'that's not rilakkuma, ma'am...  it's the brown that's rilakkuma...  the white is korilakkuma...  that bird is kiiroitori...'

me:  'aw!  sorry...  thanks for the info...'

anyway, a bird is a bird even if it's labeled a bear...  a good person is a good person even if others label him bad...  : )
