むかしむかしところふうふ

Long, long ago, in a certain place, there lived a mouse and his wife.

ふたりむすめひとり

The two of them had one very lovely daughter.

とうむすめ
せかいいちばんつよけっこん

"My daughter shall marry the strongest one in the world," said the father mouse.

そらたいようところたいよう

So he went off to the sun up in the sky.

せかいいちばんつよ
むすめけっこん

"Mr. Sun, you are the strongest in the world. Please marry my daughter."

たいよう

At that, the sun answered.

わたしくもつよ
くもわたしかくとうくもところ

"No, the cloud is stronger than I am. The cloud can hide me."

くもわたしかぜつよ

The father mouse went to the cloud.

かぜわたしうご

"The wind is stronger than I am," said the cloud. "The wind moves me about."

かぜわたしかべつよ
わたしかべとおでき
さいごかべ

"The wall is stronger than I am," said the wind. "I cannot get through a wall."

At last the wall spoke.

わたしつよ
わたしあな

"The one stronger than me is the mouse. A mouse can gnaw a hole right through me."

とう

The father mouse was very surprised.

せかいいちばんつよ

"So the strongest thing in the world was the mouse after all."

むすめとなりいえわかけっこん
しあわ

The daughter married the young mouse next door, and they lived happily ever after.
