Tohru really believed some of the strangest things. My father would say it's because of small town superstitions. All the same, he did.
So the story he told me was there was this spring in town. The water would come through the forest and they built kind of like a well for the water to sit in.
The water is always cool and people believed it would make you smarter if you drank it. So kids would drink the water before tests or things like that.
I never believed in anything like that because to me it's just something that seems to be unproven. So one night we were walking by and he tells me this story. In the water is this spider and he says the spider is like a guardian, always living in the water and it had been there for generations.
I can't say I was listening in detail, because he's going on and on about this spider and the next thing I know cold water is being splash in my face and he grins at me and says.
'Well you want to get into university don't you?'
[Natsuno can't hide the fond smile. Tohru was something else.]
