五箇山の豆腐を括る花すすき
Flower susuki, binding the Gokayama tofu
|
秘境と呼ばれた五箇山の堅豆腐。寝るときに枕がわりにしたなどと、豆腐の堅さをつたえる例えばなしは、たくさんあるよ。
ワラや花ススキを、十文字にしばって豆腐の持ち運びをする。裏山のキツネや、タヌキもお手伝い。
The unexplored hard tofu of Gokayama. There are many comparisons
that say how hard this tofu is such as using the tofu for a pillow. They carry the tofu around, binding
it in a cross with straw or?flower susuki. The fox and the raccoon
dog from the mountain help too.
*susuki=Japanese pampas grass

筆順のちがう白鳥のおやこです
We are a swan family with the wrong stroke order
|
ただでさえ覚えにくい漢字や、ひらがな。子白鳥は叱られながら、ひらがなの筆順のお勉強中です。ほーら水輪がきれいな、
ひらがな模様を作ったよ。
It is hard to memorize the stroke order for writing Chinese characters and
the Japanese alphabet. The swan child is learning the stroke orders of the Japanese alphabet
while being scolded. See -- I made a pretty alphabet pattern.

蓑虫はずーっと笑いをこらえてる
| The bagworm is holding his laughter
|
都会の蓑虫クンたちは育った環境のせいか、腹をかかえて笑うことをしない。しれ〜っと、ただぶら下がっているだけ。
笑いをこらえているとホンとに小枝にされちゃうぞ！さぁ、蓑虫ことばで笑ってごらん(^o^)
It may because of the environment they grow up in, but the bagworms
of the city don't laugh out loud. They just hang down.
If you hold in your laughter you are going to be turned into a twig. Try and laugh in bag worm language. (^o^)
