Let's read the perfect story for December in Japanese. The story is called "Gift of the 12th Moon".
hello.
Another week has passed since December. Really early.
Recently, it has been raining occasionally and it has become very cold. It only snows a few times a year in Tokyo, so I'm looking forward to seeing it this year.
Well, today I will introduce you to a story that is perfect for winter. It's a gift of the 12th month.
Please read to the end!
"Gift of the 12th Month"
Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Marushka.
Marouska lost her mother and father early on, so she lived with her stepmother and her daughter Horena.
The stepmother loved only her daughter, Horena, and was very cold to Marouska.
Horena lived and played all day long, while Marousika spent the whole day cleaning and washing.
However, Marushka did not mind at all and worked every day and grew into a beautiful girl.
And her stepmother and Horena grew to hate Marouska and thought of kicking her out of the house.
Horena said one cold winter day.
"Hey Marushka, go to the forest and pick some violets."
"Well, it's winter now. Violets aren't blooming anywhere."
Then my stepmother joined me and said,
"It's okay, let's go. Don't come back until you find the violets."
Her stepmother and Horena kicked Marousica out and locked the door.
It was a terrible snowstorm outside, and Marouska walked into the forest, freezing.
"With so much snow piled up, violets shouldn't be blooming..."
Marushka walked in the snow for a while, but soon her limbs were shaking from the cold and she almost fell down.
Then I saw a flash of red flame nearby.
"What is that..."
As Marouska approached, twelve men were sitting around a campfire.
The men were also surprised to see the unsteady marushka.
"Hey, young lady, why are you here..."
Marusica told her that she had been kicked out by her stepmother and Horena and had come looking for violets.
Then an old man with a cane said,
"I see. Actually, we are the Moon Fairies from January to December. I'm the December Fairy, so I'm sitting here now. I'll take it."
Then the December Fairy gave the March Fairy her wand.
When the March Fairy received the wand, she swung it wildly.
In an instant, orange flames soared up, melting the snow around us and turning it into a spring landscape.
Green grass grew on the ground and a warm wind blew.
"Wow, the violets are blooming! Can I take them?"
"Oh, violets bloom in March. Pick them early and go home."
"Thank you!"
Marushika thanked her many times and went home with the violets in her arms.
When they got home, the stepmother and Horena were dumbfounded.
Without even thanking her, Horena snatched the violet flower and put it in her room.
The next day Horena said again.
"I want to eat strawberries. Get me some."
Marouska reluctantly went to where the December Fairy was.
And I told the story that I was told to get strawberries.
"Then let the Fairy of May take over."
When the May Fairy received the wand and waved it, it instantly became the scenery of May.
"Thank you very much!"
Marushika thanked him, picked strawberries and went home.
Horena ate the strawberries that Marushika had brought and quickly
"Strawberries were delicious, but I want to eat apples too."
said.
Marusica also went to the 12 fairies to pick apples in the snowstorm.
When the September Fairy waved her wand, the scenery instantly changed to autumn.
Marusica thanked him and shook the apple tree for some apples.
Returning home, Horena said,
"Why don't you get more? Enough. I'll come!"
After saying that, Horena ran out of the house.
As I advanced through the snowstorm, my limbs soon became trembling and I could not move.
Then I caught a glimpse of red flames and saw twelve men surrounding the fire.
Horena, dizzy, approached the fire and warmed her hands.
"Oh no. Why are you here?"
I heard the Fairy of December.
Horena did not answer the December Fairy's question,
"Uncles, I want apples quickly!"
and yelled loudly.
The December Fairy frowned and waved her wand.
Immediately, the bonfire and the 12 fairies in front of them disappeared into the blizzard.
Horena was left alone in the pure white snow.
When Horena did not come home, her stepmother became worried and went looking for her, but the snowstorm prevented her from seeing what was ahead of her.
Her stepmother also got lost in the woods and could not return home.
Marushka lived happily ever after the two nasty people were gone.
How was it.
We will continue to introduce many stories in the future, so please come and see us again!
See you soon!
