One day, when Uriko princess was sitting alone at home and weaving as usual,戸をたたく者がありました。
someone knocked the door and said with a kind voice:もしもし
"Excuse me.可愛い瓜子姫や。この戸を、開けておくれ。
Little lovely Uriko princess, please open the door.お前の上手な機おりを、見せてほしいのさ
Please let me see how good your weaving machine is."けれども、瓜子姫は戸を開けずに言いました。
But the princess said without opening the door:いいえ。戸を開ける事は、出来ませんk
"No. I cannot open the door.もしかすると、あまのじゃくという悪者が来るかもしれないから、誰が来ても決して
Perhaps there may be a devil,戸を開けてはいけないと、おじいさんに言われているのです
my grandfather said that I must not open the door."するとその声は、
Then the voiceもっとやさしい声で言いました。
became gentler:おやおや、
"Oh no.あのあまのじゃくが、こんなにやさしい声を出すものかね。
How can a devil make such a kind voice?大丈夫だから、開けておくれ
Believe me it’s ok, nothing will happen, so just open the door."でも、戸を開ける事は出来ません
"But I have told you that I cannot open the door."それなら、
"So,ほんの少しだけ開けておくれよ。ほんの少し、指が入るだけでいいからさ
please just open the door a little bit. Just a little bit, just let a finger in."それなら、
"I will do so,指が入るだけ
Just a finger."瓜子姫は、ほんの少しだけ戸を開けました。
Uriko princess opened the door a little bit.するとその声が、またやさしい声で言います。
Then the devil said again with a gentle voice.ありがとう、お前は良い子だね
"Thank you, you are a good girl.でも、もう少しおまけしておくれよ
But let's open the door a little moreほんのもう少し、この手が入るだけでいいからさ
Just a little more, just let my hand in."それなら、手が入るだけ
"OK, just a hand."瓜子姫は、また少し戸を開けました。
Uriko princess opened the door a little more again.お前は、本当に良い子だね
"You are a really good girl.でも、もう少しおまけしておくれよ
But please just a little moreほんのもう少し、この頭が入るだけでいいからさ
Just a little more, I just need to get my head in.”それなら、頭が入るだけ
"Keep your promise, just a head in."瓜子姫がまた少し戸を開けると、戸のすきまから頭を突き出したあまのじゃくが、するりと家の中へ入って来ました。
When the princess opened the door a little more, from the outside, the devil broke in with lightning speed.ある日の事、瓜子姫がいつもの様に一人で機をおっていると、やさしそうな声で
