小ガラスと大ガラス
小ガラスと大ガラス
Small crow and big crow2
2大ガラスは、人間の未来を占う事が出来ると考えられていました。
The big crow was thought to be able to tell the future of human beings.人々は大ガラスの鳴き方で縁起が良いかどうかを占い、大ガラスを大事にして裁判の証人にするほどでした。
People believed that through the big crow's song, they would know whether luck would come or not, so people valued them, even considered them as witnesses of the trials.同じカラスでも小ガラスは、少しも大事にされません。
However, the small crow was not respected like that.それで小ガラスは大ガラスをねたんで、
So the small crow was jealous with the big crow,自分も1つ占いをやってみようと思いました。
it thought that it would also try to make a fortune-telling。旅人がやって来るのを見た小ガラスは、一本の木に止まって大きな声で鳴きました。
When it saw some people walking towards, it flew up and parked on a tree branch, then started singing loudly.その声を聞いて、旅人たちは、「ギョッ!」と、して振り返りました。
Hearing the sound, passersby immediately turned around.しかし、中の1人が言いました。
But one of them said to his friends.「さあさあ、どんどん旅を続けましょう。
"Come on, let's keep on traveling.今鳴いたのは小ガラスですよ。あんな物は占いとは、ちっとも関係がありません」
It is just a small crow. That creature and fortune telling are unrelated."人間も同じ事です。
This story is true for human beings, too.才能のない人が才能のある人の真似をしてみても、かなわないだけではなく、
If one person without talent tries to imitate a talented person,笑い者になってしまいます。
he will not only fail but also be laughed at by people.小ガラスと大ガラス
