Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese

　One day, Winter criticized Spring.

“When you show yourself, humans starts to become restless.

　They go out to the fields and the forest to pick flowers, and twirl the lilies and roses or wear them on their hair.

　Some pull out to the sea and even go to foreign countries.

　Everyone is carried away, and would not think about the wind or the rain.

　Unlike you, I am like a fearful King.

　I will not let humans see the sky, but let them watch the ground and their every step.

　I am going to make them tremble with fear.

　People will give up going out, and will stay inside the house all day”

　Spring then said to the arrogant winter,

“That is why humans are happy when you go away.”



　There are many people who doesn’t realize how much they are hated by others.
