Hello! Yesterday I had a cold and couldn't go to school. Sorry for not being there in the IE active listening class. It was the presentation, wasn't it? I'm afraid my grade is going to be terrible...Well, I am fine now! Yahooooo!
I thought that this animation was VERY hard to understand. But I think the symbol was the "lost thing" and it represents the thing what people tend to forget when we get older, such as imagination or the fun feelings.
In this story, I think the"lost thing" shaped like a crab? was the man's "imagination." At the gate, "something" told him that he shouldn't leave the "lost thing." I think this "something" was the man himself. Being an adult, we have to cooperate with others, and sometimes have to act the same like others. I think the story taught us that although how busy we are, we shouldn't forget our own idea and feelings.
