昔、夏の暑い日が続いていました。
Once, during a time when hot and humid summer days went on and on.
。
The lord of the Tsuyama domain secretly came to the banks of the Yoshii River in search of coolness.
。
Many primroses were blooming along the riverside, and the lord was very fond of them.
。
So he ordered his servant, Bring all the primrose flowers to the castle in one night.
。
Heibei Zaemon, the servant, gathered the villagers and, after struggling all night, carried the primroses to the castle.
。
However, the riverbank has become lonely because the primrose flowers are gone.
。
The next morning, the lord looked out over the garden.
。
However, since primroses only bloom at night, they have already wilted by morning.
。
The lord said angrily, Throw away that flower.
。
Heibei Saemon reluctantly threw Primrose into the river.
。
After that, the hot days will continue again.
。
The lord also wanted to go to a cool place, but there were no more flowers by the riverside, so he couldnt go.
。
Heizaemon went to look for a new place, but he couldnt find one easily.
。
Finally, when he arrived at a place called Yade, he saw many primrose flowers in full bloom.
。
It is a primrose flower that was once thrown into the river, drifted here, and has bloomed again.
。
Hihei Zaemon felt somewhat relieved among the primrose flowers.
。
Since then, it is said that primroses no longer bloom on the riverbank as they used to.
