The Frog's Complaint against the Sun

The Frog’s Complaint against the Sun

 

Once upon a time the Sun was about to take to himself a wife. The frog in terror all raised their voices to the skies, and Jupiter, disturbed by the noise, asked them what they were croaking about. They replied, “The Sun is bad enough even while he is single, drying up our marshes with his heat as he does. But what will become of us if he marries and degets other Suns?”

 

おひさまへの不満

むかしむかし、おひさまはお嫁さんをもらおうとしていました。それを聞いて、怖くなったカエルたちがそらにむかってみんなで大声でさけびました。その声に心配した木星がわけをたずねました。彼らは答えました”おひさまは結婚していなくても十分ぼくたちの沼地を、彼のねつで、ひからびさせるんだ。でも、結婚してもうひとりのおひさまがきたらぼくたちはいったいどうなるんだい。”
