最有耐心寵物主 東京「烏仙人」偕巨龜慢步

【大紀元2017年06月09日訊】(大紀元記者蘇琳編譯報導)在繁華的東京銀座,每隔兩三天,都可以看到64歲的三谷久生(Hisao Mitani)帶著他養育了21年的「蹦將」(Bon-chan)在大街上散步,這有什麼特別之處呢?

原來蹦將是一隻巨大的蘇卡達陸龜,重達70公斤。它還有讓汽車停下來的本領,倒不是它擋了道,而是司機們看到它常會停車觀看或拍照。很多東京市民都熟識這一老一少,因爲從銀座到月島這三里路,是他們固定的散步路線。

有時蹦將會身穿亮麗的專屬衣服,和三谷手提的包包配成「父子裝」。它喜歡吃蔬果,市民們見到它,經常會用胡蘿蔔、菜葉等來招待它。

三谷久生經營著一家喪葬服務中心,蹦將是那裡的固定迎賓員,哀傷的老老少少在進門後總能看到它。

「有人可能會說,在喪葬服務社的門口放一隻大烏龜,這太荒謬了;但即便人們很悲傷,見到它都會露出微笑,所以我覺得讓它在那裡不是壞主意。」三谷久生接受法新社採訪時說,20年前,妻子從寵物店把蹦將買回了家,「我知道它會長得很大,但沒想到能長到這麼大」。

三谷沒有兒子,因此他和蹦將情同父子。「我們是這家裡僅有的男人。」他笑說。而三谷也得到了一個綽號——「龜仙人」(kame sennin),不過他也說,自己不會像蹦將那樣長壽,「我聽說這種烏龜可以活到80歲,所以我肯定會比他先走」。
