The Tuna and The Dolphin

(Aesop’s Fables)

Translation　ちいさな翻訳屋さん

Japanese　←→　Japanese ＆ English　←→　English

　A tune that was being chased by a dolphin was swimming away desperately.

　However, the dolphin was coming closer and closer, and was almost catching up with the tuna.

　The tuna haphazardly jumped off water, and he landed onto the shore accidentally.

　Subsequently, the dolphin

　also landed onto the shore at full speed after the tuna.

　Then the tuna said by looking at the dolphin dying on the shore,

”I don't feel sad about dying

　because the one that was trying to kill me faces the same fate.”



　This story tells us that

　when the one that makes us unhappy becomes unhappy in the same way,

　it also becomes a little easier for us to endure our unhappiness.

The end
