The wife who doesn't eat anything群馬県の民話
Folktale of Gunma prefectureむかしむかし、あるところに、とてもけちな男が住んでいて、いつもこう言っていました。
Once upon a time, there was a very mean man living in a villageああ、
He always said. "Oh,仕事は良くするが、ご飯んを食べない嫁さんが欲しいなあ
I wish I could marry a girl who works hard but doesn't eat anything at all."そんな人がいるはずないのですが、ある時、一人の女が男の家を訪ねて来て、
Of course, there will be no one like that. But one day, a girl comes to visit his house,わたしはごはんを食べずに、仕事ばかりする女です。
"I am the girl who works hard but eating nothing.どうか、嫁にしてくださいな
So, please marry me."と、言うではありませんか。
She told him.それを聞いた男は大喜びで、女を嫁にしました。
The man heard that, he got so excited and decide to marry her.男の嫁になった女は、とても良く働きます。
His wife is very good at working.そしてご飯を、全く食べようとしません。
And she doesn't eat anything at all.ご飯は食べないし、良く仕事をするし、本当にいい嫁じゃ
"Working hard but eating nothing, she is really a good wife." The man thought.ところがある日、男は家の米俵が少なくなっているのに気がつきました。
But, one day, he noticed that the number of rice bran in the house was decreasing.おや?
"Oh?おかしいな。
That's so strange.嫁はご飯んを食べないはずだし
My wife definitely doesn't eat them." He thought.とりあえず男は、嫁に聞いてみましたが、
But he still asked his wife about that.いいえ。わたしは知りませんよ
And she repliedと、言うのです。
"I'm sorry. I don't know."あんまり変なので、次の朝、男は仕事に行くふりをして、家の天井に隠れて見張っていました。
It was so strange that the next morning the man pretended to go to work and hid behind the ceiling of the house and watched.すると嫁は倉から米を一俵かついで来て、どこからか持って来た大きなカマで一度にご飯を炊きあげました。
And he found out that his wife came out from their storehouse with a bowl of rice, then she carried a pot and started cooking rice.そして塩を一升用意すると、おにぎりを次々と作って山の様に積み上げたのです。
After that, she prepared a bowl of salt, made rice balls one after one and arranged them in a stack like a mountain.食わず女房
