川には、沢山の人が水を求めてどんどん入っていく。
みな口々に「水、水」と言っている。
しかし、川に入って水を飲んでしまうと、腹がどんどん膨れて最後には死んでしまう。
もう、生きて上がってはこれない。
黄泉への一方通行だ。
More and more people went into the river for water, mumbling, “Water…water…” as they waded in. They drank from the river, which made their body swell; even the water could not save them. They never left the river alive. It was like a one-way street to the nether world.
