Japanese Script

冬ふゆのある日ひ、二人ふたりの若わかい男おとこが山やまにいました。二人ふたりは新あたらしい銃じゅうを持もって、犬いぬと一緒いっしょでした。「この山やまは変へんだ。鳥とりや動物どうぶつがいない。私わたしは早はやくこの新あたらしい銃じゅうを使つかいたいよ。」「大おおきな動物どうぶつをこの銃じゅうで殺ころしたら、きっと楽たのしいはずだ。」二人ふたりはこんな話はなしをしながら、山やまを歩あるいていました。しかし、たくさん歩あるいても、動物どうぶつを見みつけることが出来できません。「お腹なかが空すいたから、今日きょうは家いえに帰かえろう。」「うん、そうしよう。」二人ふたりは山やまを降おりることにしました。しかし、二人ふたりとも帰かえりの道みちを覚おぼえていません。二人ふたりは道みちに迷まよってしまいました。夕方ゆうがたになると、風かぜが強つよくなって、雪ゆきも降ふってきました。あまりに寒さむくなったので、犬いぬはどこかに逃にげてしまいました。

English Translation

One day in winter, there were two young men in the mountain. They had new guns and were with dogs. "This mountain looks strange. There is not a bird nor an animal. I want to use this new gun soon." "If I kill a big animal by this gun, it should certainly be fun." While they were talking about these kinds of things, they were walking in the mountain. But, although they walked a lot, they could not find an animal. "I have become hungry, so let's go home today." "Yes, let's." They decided that they would go down the mountain. But, both of them didn't remember the way home. They lost their way. When it became evening, the wind became strong and it started snowing, too. Since it became too cold, the dogs ran away somewhere.
