The Daisy
A translation of Hans Christian Andersen's
"Gaaseurten" by Jean Hersholt.
Now listen to this! Out in the country, close by the side of the road, there stood a country house;you yourself have certainly seen many just like it.In front of it was a little flower garden, with a painted fence around it. Close by the fence, in the midst of the most beautiful green grass beside a ditch, there grew a little daisy.
さあ、この話を聞いて下さい!片田舎の道の辺(ほとり)、そこに救貧院が立っていました。貴方方自身、きっと、それによく似たものをたくさん見た事があるでしょう。その前には、塗装された垣で囲んだ、小ぢんまりとした花壇がありました。垣にぴったりと寄り添うように、溝に沿って、一人(ひとしお)鮮やかな、青々とした葉の真ん中、そこに可愛らしいフランス菊が生えていました。
