Not You!

(Short stories of Edo)

Translation　ちいさな翻訳屋さん

Make Origami ( ORIGAMI CLUB) Fish

Japanese　←→　Japanese ＆ English　←→　English

　Hachigoro heard that someone had caught 50 gold coins while fishing.

　So he left home right away, carrying a fishing pole on his shoulder.

　As soon as he put out to sea in a boat and dropped his line in the water, a big and fine-looking sea bream got caught.

　Hachigoro, however, let the sea bream off the hook and threw it back to the sea saying,

“ Darn it. Not you!”

The end

　One-point Advice

　A sea bream or a “tai” is so called the king of fish and the big one, like Hachigoro caught, is worth a lot of money.
