サクラとかべのないお城
対象年齢 3〜5歳
のんびり進む石のとうを待てなかったサクラは、ものさしとレンガとモルタルを手に、まったく新しいお城を作ります。それは、かべがなくて、開いたアーチと花ざく庭がみんなを迎えるお城でした。
サクラ watched the stone tower rise, brick by slow brick, for a hundred waiting days. "I want a castle NOW," she said, "and I want to build it herself, snip-snap-quick!" So she grabbed her rainbow ruler and marched outside.
"A castle needs no waiting walls," said サクラ, tapping her ruler on the ground with a bright tap-tap-tap. "Build it up, open and free! Mine will have gardens instead of gates, and doors that are always, always open."
"Ready, Pip?" サクラ called, and the little red cart gave a happy squeak. Squeak-squeak-rumble, wobble-bump-roll, they zoomed to the brick pile, wheels bouncing merrily over the garden path!
