かぐや姫 – 英語 初級｜解説無し版
🌱 Chapter 1:
Once upon a time, an old man and an old woman lived in a small village.
The old man cut bamboo in the mountains.
The people called him “the bamboo cutter.”
One day, the old man found a bamboo glowing with bright light.
“It is not a normal bamboo,” he said.
He cut it open.
Inside the bamboo, he found a tiny, beautiful girl.
She was small like a doll.
The old man took her home.
The old woman was very happy.
They named the girl Kaguya-hime.
They loved her like their own child.
🌱 Chapter 2:
Kaguya-hime grew up very fast.
She became a beautiful young woman.
People in the town heard about her beauty.
Many noble men came to see her.
Five rich and powerful men wanted to marry her.
But Kaguya-hime said:
“If you bring me a special gift, I will marry you.”
Each man got a hard and strange mission:
A stone bowl from Buddha
A branch with gold from Mount Hourai
A robe made from fire-rat fur
A jewel from a dragon’s neck
A shell from a swallow’s nest
The men looked for the gifts,
but no one could find the real one.
So, Kaguya-hime did not marry anyone.
🌱 Chapter 3:
One night, Kaguya-hime looked at the moon.
She looked very sad.
She cried and said to the old man and woman:
“I am from the Moon.
My real family will come for me soon.”
The old man and old woman were very sad.
They wanted to stop her from leaving.
Even the emperor in the capital heard the news.
He sent many soldiers to protect her.
🌱 Chapter 4:
On the night of the full moon,
people from the Moon came down.
They were bright like stars.
The soldiers tried to stop them,
but they could not move.
Kaguya-hime said goodbye.
She cried and bowed deeply.
“Thank you for your love.
I will never forget you.”
Then she went back to the Moon.
🌱 Chapter 5:
Kaguya-hime left a letter and a gift.
It was a letter for the emperor,
and a drink to live forever.
But the emperor was too sad.
He did not want to live long without her.
He burned the gift on the top of a tall mountain.
The mountain was called Fuji.
People say smoke still comes from it,
even today.
