猫がご飯の後で顔を洗う訳
The reason why cats have to wash their faces after eating
むかしからネコは、ご飯を食べた後で顔や手をなめて洗います。
We all know that after eating, cats often lick to wash their faces and hands
ふつうならご飯を食べる前に洗うのでしょうが、
Normally, they should wash their faces before they eat,
なぜそうしないのでしょうか？
so why don't they do that?
それには、こんなわけがあるのです。
It happens for a reason.
むかしむかし、一羽のスズメが、お百姓のうら庭でムギ粒をつついていました。
Once upon a time, a sparrow gathered grain in a farmer's garden.
草むらを行ったり来たりして、一粒ずつ食べています。
It went back and forth in the bush and ate a grain of wheat at each time.
それを、お百姓の飼っているネコが見つけました。
A cat in that house saw that sparrow
これはいいごちそうとばかりに、ネコはスズメを捕まえて食べようとしました。
and thought that it would become great feast, so the cat tried to catch it.
すると、
Then,
「まってください！　まってください！」
"Please wait! Wait!"
スズメは羽をバタバタさせて、叫びました。
The sparrow flapped its wings and screamed.
「ネコさん、わたしを食べるつもりですか？」
"Mr. Cat, are you going to eat me?"
「決まってるさ。
"Of course.
それがどうした？」
What's wrong? "
ネコはそう言うと、スズメの頭をかじろうとしました。
The cat said so, it tried to snap the sparrow's head.
「ネコさん。あなたは、恥ずかしくないですか？」
"Mr. Cat. Aren't you embarrassed?"
「何がだ？」
"About what?"
「だって、顔を洗うのを忘れていますよ。
"You forgot to wash your face.
あなたのご主人たちはみんな、ご飯を食べる前に顔と手を洗うでしょう。
All of your masters will wash their faces and hands before eating.
そのくらいの事、あなただって知ってるじゃありませんか」
You don't even know what you should do. "
「うむ。なるほど、
"Oh. I see,
確かにそうだ」
You're quite right."
ネコは顔を洗おうとして、スズメを押さえていた手をはなしました。
The cat tried to wash its face and let loose the hand holding the sparrow.
そのとたんスズメはつばさを広げて、さっと空へ飛んで行ってしまいました。
The sparrow quickly spread its wings and flew to the sky.
「ああ！
"Aaaaaa
しまった！」
I lost it!"
ネコは体がふるえるほど、くやしがりました。
The cat regretted and trembled with upset.
「よし、
"Oh,
もうだまされないぞ。
I won't be fooled anymore.
人間は、人間の好きなようにやるさ。
Human just keep doing what they want to.
おれは始めにご飯を食べて、あとで顔を洗うんだ」
And I must eat first then wash my face later. "
それからネコは、ご飯の後で顔や手を洗う事にしたのです。
Then the cat decided to wash its face and hands after the meal.
