You are lost in a deep forest. It’ getting cold and dark and you don’t know what to do. Suddenly you reach an old crumbling house.

You knock on the door and old woman came out and said,

W　Who are you ?

G　I lost my way. So, could I stay here ?

W　No no no ! I have a single son. So, I can’t.

G　But I must be dying tomorrow morning if you can’t.

W　But there’s no guarantee you don’t swindle him. Get away !

G　Oh, ･･･  I see. Thanks, madam.

W  ･･･ Wait !  You call me madam !? Oh, yes I am madam.

    I let you stay here. But only one day.

G  Oh, thank you grandma !! ･･･ No madam, thank you.

W  ･･･ You may call me grandma.      

G  No madam, I must not call you so.

(G) It’s too fearful for me.

W  Did you say something ? ･･･ OK. But never talk to my son.

She pointed at one boy and said,

W  If you break the promise, I ‘ll never allow you.

G  Oh, I know I know.

(G) Oh, how beautiful he is ! Though with a noisy mom. ･･･

 But how about after she died, there must be our two’s paradise.

Can I wait the day ?  Or should I give him up ? No, why should I give him up ? ･･･ Yes so, I'm smart, pretty and tender. He and I will be able to be best couple.

G  Hah, I’m sleepy. Can I go to bed?

W  Yeah, of course.

G  Good night madam.

W  Good night. What time will you leave here tomorrow morning ?

G  I want to sleep well so, ･･･

S  Mom don’t say such a thing. Please see a good dream.

(G) I’ll see your dream today. Today is a great day for me.
