This holiday morning, Dad had time at home to watch television with his ten-year-old son. Who has a passion and love for heroes who help protect the world from the dangers of humans from various planets. To the point that the father had to hunt down and buy old VCDs that included all of the superheroes at the request of his beloved son. The son suddenly looked up and asked his father,

“Dad, which Ultraman do you like the most?”

“Why do you want to know?”

“Kao thinks that everyone who has seen it must like Ultraman. There is no one who doesn't love a superhero, right?"

“Father is not very sure about this, but if you ask him, he will honestly answer yes. Dad also loves superheroes. But does Kao know? One of the greatest human beings that Father loves very much. He is not Ultraman from the stars.

M 78

It's far away. He is a worldly person. He was a person like his father, like Kao, without the power to change his body and expand to a size that reached the sky to fight against monsters. Cannot emit beams to destroy invaders. Just like your Ultraman siblings."

The father spoke long words to his sons, who sat beside each other on the polished plank floor. He stared intently at his father's face and eyes as he answered. Curiosity shines through and the evidence is clear.

“Oh, Dad, like this, your superhuman isn't superhuman. And if he were a person like Kao Can't transform. Can't shoot light. So how can I protect Kao and my father and the others? Ninth Ultraman Taro is considered to be the best among the six Ultra Brothers who protect the universe.

Many times, I have also been badly attacked by monsters.”

The father smiled, patted his son's head affectionately, and replied,

“Didn't you forget that Ultraman was able to fight off aliens that invaded us for about three minutes and then he was powerless? If you still can't defeat the enemy, you will be the one who will be hurt. But this father's superhuman Use all your energy to help people. Especially Thai people for a very long time. A lot that I couldn't even imagine.”

“Really? Ultraman Taro is better than everyone else because he can fight monsters for about four minutes. And how many minutes can his father's superhero fight last?” The little boy's eyes lit up. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. There are still ordinary people like him. To be able to have the power to help people better than Ultraman Taro?

The father laughed at his son's excited expression.

“Really, did you know that if you were to count the time in minutes? That this person has worked hard to help all Thai people. It is a much larger number. Thirty-six million seven hundred ninety-two thousand minutes who never loses mental strength even though physical strength may deteriorate My father's superhero has always done it without stopping. Until…not long ago where he can rest.”

Father's words at the end contained an unmistakable sadness. Kao sensed it but didn't understand why his father was suddenly acting strange. A ten year old like him couldn't focus on any one emotion for long. For a moment, the doubt in Father's expression and tone disappeared. Along with curiosity mixed with amazement at the information just heard. This made him decide to dare to ask further.

“Father, thirty-six million seven hundred and ninety-two thousand minutes. Exactly how long has this been going on?”

Then the eyes of both father and son met and remained silent. A father can't believe his little son's memory. Even telling him the number of eight digits he had just mentioned. Correctly, not even a single one was wrong. Eyes that are waiting expectantly which was staring at It was as if he was dancing. It was a long time before Father could open his mouth and answer the question.

“This is the hardest question you've ever asked your father. How should Father answer that Kao can see the picture? Please dad take a moment to think... Let's do it like this. A mature man like a father Estimated walking time, general criteria. Father thought of walking comfortably. Keep your pace, don't rush, 1 kilometer will take about 15 minutes.

And the distance to the circumference of the world we live in? Approximately forty-seventy-five kilometers. Therefore, if traveling along the circumference of the earth with normal feet takes approximately 1 round. Six hundred one thousand one hundred twenty five minutes means time size Thirty-six million seven hundred ninety-two thousand minutes Can be used to travel along the circumference of the earth up to

Sixty-one rounds at least. Father, will this answer make it easier for you to understand?”

“Wow, Dad.”

The son screamed loudly throughout the house. Until the cat, who was sleeping peacefully at his feet, was startled. Fleeing and disappearing from sight If there were a lost fly flying at that moment, One might be startled by the sudden sound wave of Nine that was released. Until it swerves out of direction. Even though his voice had been quiet for a moment.

But the mouth was still open. I forgot to close it until Dad had to reach out and put a spoon under his chin and gently push it back into place.

Kao lowered his head and thought to himself. Soon he looked up at his father.

“Father.. can I please love your superhero too? Even though my Ultraman Taro is still the hero I love the most. But Taro really doesn't have one, right? But Father's superhero is real. He is also a person like his father, like me, and has the power to help people. Thirty-six million seven hundred ninety-two thousand minutes

This is equivalent to traveling around the circumference of the earth sixty-one times. It's the coolest.”

Dad is already smiling widely.

“Sure, why not? I'm glad you still love your Ultraman Taro. But I still see the value and accept my father's hero as well. Do you know what? After the father watched Ultraman Taro with his son until the end. I think I can understand why you admire this superhero so much.

Dad, would you like to continue watching Ultraman as well?”

“Really, Dad? The best. It's really fun to watch alone. But watching it with dad is much more fun. From now on I will have friends to talk to. There are people who listen to me when I want to talk about Ultraman Taro. Other friends don't like me like I do. Some people like Sophie. Some people like Ultraman Ace, but most people like Ultra Seven.”

The father laughed, understanding everything his son had said. Well, he himself was not a child before. Even though it was a very long time ago The burden of work that you are carrying Makes him have to use mature thought to make careful decisions. However, he made mistakes in many matters. Forgetting or neglecting to pay attention to your own son's feelings.

He had even forgotten that he had not been born and had grown up to be an adult. Talking with your child today Make him think and reconsider. Memories from my past childhood began to flow back. He himself had once really liked the superhero Ultraman. Imagination and reality

If we know how to use them together in the right way, it should go well, right? at least It starts with trying to be a friend to your child, then acknowledge, listen, and spend time together more often. without hurry and calmly We must find some common ground that allows two generations to talk together. and can be happy

Even though they still love and like things that they have different opinions about. He is so sure

“Today, I saw your Ultraman Taro. Dad said that Taro is really talented, just like he said. Although there are some weak points Hmm..next Sunday I would like to take you to see the history of my superhuman story. I don't know if my child will want to go along or not.”

"Yes..I want to go, Dad. I want to know. I agree that we made a promise."

“Yes, Father promises.”

The father and son both extended their right little fingers and intertwined them together as a sign. along with shaking your hand slightly Both of their smiles appeared and glowed warmly. Gem makes the atmosphere inside that house look bright. Shining brightly in an instant

finish.
