Let's improve your Japanese with reading! Today, I would like to introduce you to a story that I often read when I was a child!
hello everyone!
It's April starting tomorrow! It's getting a lot warmer outside, and it's the season to feel energetic.
Those of you who will be starting your new lives in April will be filled with anticipation and anxiety.
I hope everyone has a wonderful year ahead.
Well, today I have prepared a story for learning Japanese.
The story is called "The Three Little Pigs."
I want to improve my Japanese language skills! If so, please read it.
By the way, applications for the JLPT in July of this year have already started, so if you haven't yet, hurry up!
"Three Little Pigs"
Once upon a time, there lived a mother pig and her three little pigs.
One morning, the mother pig said,
Mom: "Now that you're all grown up, it's time to build your own house and live on your own."
Pigs: "Yes! We'll build you a nice house!"
The eldest pig was very lazy.
Eldest son: "Okay, let's build a house!"
The eldest pig got a lot of straw from a nearby farmer and tied it with rope to make a roof and walls.
Eldest son: "Wow, we built a house in an hour! It was easy!"
My second son, Pig, was also lazy.
Second son: “Come on, let’s build a house quickly!”
The second son, Pig, collected twigs from the forest and put them together to make a twig house.
Second son: "Phew, I built it in one day! I just need a house to live in, so this is fine!"
The third son pig was a smart pig.
Third son: "Hmm, why should we build a house? I'd like a house that doesn't fall apart even when it rains or the wind blows. That's right!"
The third son Pig collected a lot of soil from the mountain and compacted it to make bricks.
They stacked the bricks one by one to build a brick house.
Third son: "We finally got a house! It was tough!"
The third son pig's house took a month to make.
The three little pigs started living happily in their own house.
One day, a bad wolf came.
Wolf: "Oh? I smell a delicious piggy!"
The wolf went to the eldest pig's house and said,
Wolf: "Hey, little piggy, if you're here, come out."
Eldest son: "Oh, it's a wolf!! There's no one in this house."
Wolf: “I knew it was there!”
Eldest son: "It's terrible! What should we do?"
My eldest son closed all the windows and doors in the house.
Wolf: “A house made of straw like this is just a blow away!”
The wolf takes a deep breath...
Fuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The eldest pig's straw house was completely blown away, and he was eaten whole by the wolf.
The wolf, still hungry, walked in search of food.
Then, the delicious smell of piggy came from somewhere.
Wolf: "Kun-kun. There's another little pig's house..."
The wolf came to the second son pig's house.
Wolf: "Hey. Pig-kun, come out!"
Second son: "It's terrible! It's a wolf!"
The second son Pig was scared and hid in the bed.
Wolf: "Hmph! A house made of twigs like this will blow the lid off!"
Phew! Phew!
The second son pig's house of Twigs was completely blown away, and the second son pig was also eaten by the wolf.
Wolf: “Ah, it was delicious!”
Then, a delicious smell came from somewhere again.
It's the smell of soup.
Wolf: "You can still eat! Okay, let's go!"
The wolf came to the third son pig's brick house.
When he looked at the third son's house from the window, he saw that he was just preparing dinner.
Wolf: "I'd like to have some soup, but let's have that little pig first."
The wolf said as he went to the door.
Wolf: "Hey, pig. That soup smells really delicious. Give it to me too."
Third son: "No, you won't be able to eat me before the soup!"
Wolf: "Hmph!!! I'll blow this house away!"
Phew! Phew! Phew!
that………?
The third son pig's brick house will not be blown away.
Even if you try to break it with your hands or set it on fire and burn it, it won't work.
The third son pig is eating dinner slowly at home.
Wolf: "Cool! I'll definitely eat it tomorrow!"
The angry wolf said to the third son pig,
Wolf: "Pig! There's a big tree nearby and you can pick a lot of apples. Would you like to go with me tomorrow?"
Third son: “Huh, where is that?”
Wolf: "Um, it's in the forest ahead."
Third son: “Okay, fine!”
The next day the wolf went to the apple tree smiling.
Wolf: "Let's eat the pig with the apple."
However, when he got to the apple tree and looked at it, there were no apples at all.
Wolf: “What!?”
The wolf hurried to the third son's house.
Looking out the window, the third son pig was making apple jam.
Wolf: "Hey, pig! What did you do with that apple?"
Third son: "Hello, wolf-kun! Since you were late, I went ahead and grabbed all the apples that looked delicious."
Wolf: "Squeak! I'm already angry!! I'll eat you right now!!!"
The wolf started climbing up the chimney of the third son pig's house.
Third son: "It's terrible! He's going to come in through the chimney!"
The third son pig hurriedly placed a large pot on the stove and began to boil water.
Slump, slump...
The wolf, who didn't know anything, went straight into the chimney...
Botchan! !
I fell into the hot water.
Wolf: “Gah!”
The third son pig covered the pot and made wolf soup.
The bad wolf was gone, and the third son Pig invited his mother to his brick house and they lived happily together.
How was it.
The ending where the piglet eats the wolf is a little surprising.
I think this story is interesting because the characters of the three little pigs and the wolf are easy to understand.
