Japanese Script

「困こまった。寒さむいし、私わたしはお腹なかも空すいている。」「僕ぼくも何なにか食たべたいよ。夜よるになると死しんでしまうよ。」二人ふたりがそんな話はなしをしていると、山猫やまねこレストランというレストランを見みつけました。「これはいい。中なかに入はいろう。」「しかし、こんな山やまの中なかにレストランがあるのは少すこし変へんだね。」「いいから行いこう。私わたしはもうお腹なかが空すいて、死しにそうなんだ。」「うん、僕ぼくも暖あたたかい部屋へやで休やすみたいよ。」二人ふたりがドアを開あけようとすると、ドアに何なにか書かいてあるのを見みつけました。

“いらっしゃいませ。遠慮えんりょなく入はいってください。”

二人ふたりは喜よろこびました。「すごい。今日きょうはたくさん歩あるいて大変たいへんだったけど、夜よるはお金かねを払はらわずにごはんが食たべられる！」「そうだね。『遠慮えんりょなく』というのは『タダで』ということだよね。」

English Translation

“We have got a problem. It’s cold and I am also hungry.” “I want to eat something, too. If it becomes night, we’re going to die.” While they were talking about such things, they found a restaurant named WILDCAT RESTAURANT. “This sounds good. Let’s get inside.” “But, it’s strange that there is a restaurant even in the mountain, isn’t it?” “Don’t worry. Come on. I’m already hungry and I feel I’m going to die.” “Yeah, I want to take a rest in a warm room, too.“ When they tried to open the door, they found that something was written on the door;

“Welcome. Feel free to come in.”

They were glad. “Amazing! It’s a tough day, we have been walking a lot, but we can eat a meal without paying money at night.” “You are right. “Feel free” must be “For free”, mustn’t it?”
