◇「おかしな頭」たちは頭が足りず、簡単なことでも巧くできなかった。 "Funny head" didn't have enough heads and couldn't do an easy thing well. そこである男が「おかしな頭」たちを訓練することにした。 The man who was there decided to train "the funny head". ところが、階段の昇り方を教えれば、逆立ちして頭で昇ろうとする。 But, when a man tells how to rise stairs, "the funny head" stands on its hands, and tries to rise by a head. 家の作り方を教えれば、中から壁を作って出られなくなる。 When a man tells a way of making a house, "the funny head" makes a wall from the inside in a house and can't go any more out. 最も簡単な椅子の座り方を示しても、後向きに座ったり、ひっくり返ったり。 Even if how to sit down the seat where a man is easiest is indicated, "the funny head" sits down for the rear and overturns. 思案の挙句、男は、女との交わり方なら覚えるだろうと思いたった。 When a man would remember how to cross with a woman after a consideration, it was decided. 男とずっと交わっていなかったでぶの老婆に、相手頼むと、「喜んでお役に立つよ」。 "The elderly woman who gained weight" didn't cross the opposite sex all the while, but when a man asked, she said "It would be happy to be useful." 男は老婆の後ろから着物の裾をまくり、一番簡単な犬方式で交わってみせた。 A man shall roll up the hem of clothes from the elderly woman's rear and associate by the easiest "dog system". じっと見ていた「おかしな頭」たちは、我先に老婆に向かったが、いくらやっても後ろの穴、臍の穴、挙句の果ては耳の穴に突っ込むばかり。 The "the funny head" which was being seen patiently made for an elderly woman in an ego destination. Even if it's done, how much do they keep stuffing the back hole, a navel hole and the end of the last line into a hole of an ear. 終いに老婆も男もお腹を抱えて笑いだした。 ‐ ズニ族「聖なる道化師」の物語 To close, an elderly woman and a man have begun to hold a stomach and laugh. ‐ Story of Zuni "sacred clown" |
