snow - 澤野弘之

[01:03:83]Once upon a time, there was a steep mountain where a dragon used to live.
[01:09:98]A long time ago, a man told a lie. He said:
[01:15:03]"I climbed that mountain to fight with the dragon,
[01:18.73]Then I almost killed him. But I missed. And he was huge and black."
[01:24:54]He just wanted to be famous by this story,
[01:27:90]And that's why he lied.
[01:30:14]That unexpected story made the people amazed in the town,
[01:35:74]The king of the land heard that story and he gave him a reward.
[01:41:34]That lie became a rumor and the rumor spread to the whole country,
[01:46:94]It ran, from the East to the West, and the North to the South...
[01:52:54]Over many years, the rumor was retold among the people.
[01:58:14]
[02:36:21]After a while, a boy got an inspiration from the story, then he said:
[02:43:49]"I want to be a hero like that!"
[02:46:29]Then, he went to the same mountain.
[02:49:09]It was a long journey, and it was very hot, but he didn't give up.
[02:59:73]
[03:32:20]When the boy reached the top of the mountain,
[03:37:24]What he found was a huge white dragon——he was exhausted and injured.
[03:44:52]He threw away his sword which he had sharpened for this fight,
[03:51:24]and he nursed the white dragon the best he could.
[03:55:72]The white dragon recovered day by day with the boy's help,
[04:01:88]after this the white dragon flew away into the sky.
[04:07:48]The dragon's scales came off, which became the snow.
[04:15:32]It was the first snow in the country ever.
[04:19:80]
[04:34:35]That story became so famous all over the country,
[04:38:27]From the East to the West, From the North to the South...
[04:42:75]After many years,
[04:44:99]People talked about that boy as a legend.
