おばあさんの頼み
Grandmother's requestむかしむかし、あるところに、大きな大きな墓場がありました。
Once upon a time there was a big graveyard.ここにはたくさんの死んだ人の魂が眠っていて、どの魂もみんな、もう一度生き返りたいと思っていました。
There were many dead people's souls sleeping here, and all the souls wanted to relive again.ある日の事、一人のおばあさんが死んで、この墓場にほうむられました。
One day, one grandmother died and was taken to this graveyard.でも、おばあさんは、永い眠りにつこうとはしませんでした。
However, she didn't want to go into the forever sleep like that.ああ、生きたい。生きたい
"Ah, I want to live, I want to live."おばあさんはそう言いながら土をかきわけて、お墓の中から上半身を出して来たのです。
Granmother said that, and she tried remove the soil and took her upper body out of the ground.ところが外はたいへんに寒かったので、おばあさんは上半身を出したまま
However, because it was very cold outside, grandmother, with the upper body out,ブルブルと震えました。ああ、寒い、寒い
shivered. "Oh, cold, cold."するとそこへ、一人の男の子が通りかかりました。
Then there was a boy passing by.おばあさんは、男の子に言いました。
Grandmother said to the boy.坊や。良い子だから、ここに火を持って来ておくれ
"Little boy. You're a good boy, can you please bring me fire hereこの冷え切った体を、暖めるから
to warm my cold body, if my body gets warm体が暖まればここから出られるし、
I can get out of here,ここから出ればあたしは生き返られるんだ
and if I get out of here I can come alive."でも男の子は、首を横に振りました。
But the boy shook his head.坊や、お願いだから火を持って来ておくれよ
"Little boy, please bring me fire, please."おばあさんがいくら頼んでも、男の子はおびえたように首を横に振るだけです。
No matter how many times she asked, the boy just shook his head frightenedly.ああ、こんなに寒くては、まだ地面の中にいた方がましだね
"Oh, it is so cold, it will be better for me to stay in the ground." She thought.寒さが我慢出来なくなったおばあさんは仕方なく、またお墓の中に入って行きました。
Grandmother, who couldn't help the cold anymore, had no way but went into the grave again.おばあさんはそれっきり、二度と外へは出て来ませんでした。
And from that, she never came out again.おばあさんの頼み
