ほら吹き男爵、クマの肝
Baron Munchausen, Bears' liverわがはいは、ミュンヒハウゼン男爵
I am Baron Munchausenみんなからは、『ほらふき男爵』とよばれておる。
Everyone usually calls me "The excessive baron".今日も、
Today, as usual,わがはいの冒険話を聞かせてやろう。
I will tell you a story of my adventure.今回は、
This time, I am talking about when I went to meet a Turkish nobleman for public use.わがはいが公用でトルコ貴族に会いに行った時の話だ。
I will talk about when I went to meet a Turkish nobleman for public use.わがはいは友好の証に、
To prove my friendship,クマの生き肝から作った薬をトルコ貴族への手土産として持って行った。
I brought the medicine which is made from the bear's living liver as a souvenir for the Turkish nobleman.だが配達人の手違いで、せっかくの手土産がなくなってしまったのだ。
However, due to the mistake of the delivery man, the souvenir was lost.「うむ、
“Hmm,手土産がなくては、交渉がうまくいかんぞ。
If I don’t have any souvenir, the negotiation will not go well.しかし、鉄砲もなしにクマの生き肝を手に入れる事は・・・。
But, it’s too hard to take the living liver of one bear without a gun.そうだ!」
Got it!” I thought.ある名案を思いついたわがはいは、クマがよく出ると言われる農場へ行くと、農作業で使う
Having come up with a good idea, I went to a farm where they said that bears often came,車のかじ棒にハチ蜜をたっぷりと塗りつけて、クマが現れるのを待った。
I smeared a lot of honey on the shaft of the car used for farming and waited for the bears to appear.すると思った通り、ハチ蜜の香りにさそわれて一頭のクマがのこのことやってきた。
As I thought, one bear came due to the smell of honey.こいつは、うまそうなハチ蜜だ
I thought it was the one that loved honey.そう思ったクマは棒の先をぺろぺろなめはじめたが、調子に乗ってなめていくうちに、
The bear began to lick from the end of the shaft, but after that, its mouth was bunged up,棒がクマののどから
And the shaft went from the throat of the bear胃、腸を通ってお尻へと抜けたのだ。
through its stomach and intestines to buttock.そこで、わがはいは、
“Nice!” I thought and ran to the bear.「うまくいったぞ」と、クマに駆け寄って、クマが棒から抜け出せない様に、
Then I drove two nails on the top and bottom of the shaft棒の前後に長い木くぎを打ち込んで
to prevent the bear from running away.クマを生けどりにしてやったのだ。
Finally, I got an alive bear.そしてそれからもハチ蜜に誘われて何匹ものクマがやってきたが、
And since then, more and more bears came for the smell of the honeyわがはいは同じ方法で全てのクマを生けどりにすると、
I used the same method to catch all of them,それらのクマが死なない程度の生き肝を少しずつ切り取って
and took living livers one by one when the bears were still alive.トルコ貴族への手土産としたのだ。
They were souvenirs for the Turkish nobleman.クマの肝で作った薬は万病に効くから、
Because medicine made of bear's liver could treat all diseases,トルコ貴族は大喜びだったぞ。
the Turkish nobleman was so happy to hear that.今日の教訓は、『道具とは、工夫次第で何でも出来る』だ。
The lesson today is: "You can do anything with a tool as long as you know how to use it."ハチ蜜と棒だけでも、わがはいの様に工夫をすればクマを捕まえる事も出来るのだからな。
Because only by honey and shaft, if you do as my own method, you can catch bears easily.では、また次の機会に、別の話をしてやろうな。
See you next time with another story.おしまい
