a child. They lived in a small house near the village forest. “Please
give us a child,” they asked God everyday.
One day, from the household Shinto altar, they heard a cute
cry, “Waa! Waa!”
They looked and saw a crying baby who looked just like a
little figer. “This child must be a gift from God. Thanks to God!”
“We will call this child ‘Issumboshi’,” they said.
They raised Issumboshi with much care, but Issumboshi
never grew bigger.
“Hey, Issumboshi, do you want to be eaten by a frog?”
Issumboshi was always being bullied by the children of the village
and often went home feeling unhappy.
Grandmother would make some big rice balls and encourage
him. “Eat a lot, and grow up quickly,” Grandmother said.
One day, Issumboshi said, “I will go to the capital to study and
become a respectable person. Then I will come back.” Grandfather
and Grandmother were worried about him, but Issumboshi’s mind
would not be changed. At once they began to prepare for his trip.
Issumboshi sheathed a needle sword in a straw case, put
on a cup for a sedge hat, and started out with a chopstick staff, in
high spirits.
“I’m going now,” Issumboshi said.
“Is he safe? With such a small body?” Grandfather and
Grandmother asked as they saw him off.
Issumboshi went on the trip with a big wish in a small body.
… … …
At last Issumboshi reached the capital city and anchored
under the bridge. Then he climbed up to the railing and viewed the
town.
“There is a fie palace over there. I shall ask them at once.”
At long last Issumboshi arrived at the palace.
“Excuse me, but I want to meet the feudal lord.”
The lord came to the door, “What? Who’s there?”
“Here I am, at your feet.”
“Oh. How small! Why do you want to meet me?”
“Please let me be your retainer.”
“I wonder if your very small body can do anything.”
“I’ll stay in your pocket and guard you from all harm.” When
Issumboshi said so, a bee came buzzing by. “Yhaa!” Issumboshi
yelled, stabbing the bee.
“Bravo! I employ you. It would be good if you became the
Princess’s man.”
“Oh! What a cute fellow he is!” said the Princess, putting
Issumboshi on her palm.
“I will defend you upon my life,” said Issumboshi.
The Princess liked Issumboshi, and she taught him reading,
writing, and various studies. Further, Issumboshi practiced fencing
very hard in order to be strong.
One day the Princess went out to worship at the Kiyomizu
Temple. Suddenly there was a strong wind, and some demons
appeared. The leader of the demons tried to grab the Princess.
“Help me!” she screamed. Issumboshi tried to help her, but the
demon caught him and threw him into his mouth. Issumboshi,
who was swallowed, jabbed and jabbed the demon’s stomach. The
demon rolled over and spat out Issumboshi.
Issumboshi jumped at the demon and stabbed his eyes. The
remaining demons were frightened. They ran away in great haste,
but one demon, who was left behind, trembled while holding the
magic hammer.
“Do you want me to stab your eyes, too?” Issumboshi asked.
“Please, don’t. This is the magic hammer that will grant you
a wish. I give it to you, so please spare me.” And saying this, he ran
off in a hurry.
“Thank you, Issumboshi. You have saved my life,” the
Princess said.
“Princess, please wave this magic hammer and make a wish
that I may become big,” said Issumboshi. The Princess waved it
and asked, “May Issumboshi become big!”
And then, strangely, before her eyes, Issumboshi began to
grow. He grew into a nice young man. They went back to the palace,
and the Princess asked the King to let her marry Issumboshi.
The Princess and Issumboshi then got married, and they
invited Grandfather and Grandmother to live with them in the
palace. They lived happily ever after.
TOLONG DIRINGKAS
Penjelasan:
Dahulu kala ada pasangan tua yang tidak memiliki
Seorang anak. Mereka tinggal di sebuah rumah kecil di dekat hutan desa. "Silahkan
beri kami seorang anak,” mereka meminta Tuhan setiap hari.
Suatu hari, dari altar rumah tangga Shinto, mereka mendengar suara lucu
menangis, “Wah! Waa!”
Mereka melihat dan melihat bayi yang menangis yang tampak seperti
kecil. “Anak ini pasti hadiah dari Tuhan. Terimakasih Tuhan!"
"Kami akan memanggil anak ini 'Isumboshi'," kata mereka.
Mereka membesarkan Issumboshi dengan sangat hati-hati, tapi Issumboshi
tidak pernah tumbuh lebih besar.
“Hei, Issumboshi, apakah kamu ingin dimakan oleh katak?”
Issumboshi selalu diganggu oleh anak-anak desa
dan sering pulang dengan perasaan tidak senang.
Nenek akan membuat beberapa bola nasi besar dan menyemangati
dia. “Makan yang banyak, dan cepat dewasa,” kata Nenek.
Suatu hari, Isumboshi berkata, “Saya akan pergi ke ibu kota untuk belajar dan
menjadi orang yang terhormat. Lalu aku akan kembali.” Kakek
dan Nenek mengkhawatirkannya, tapi pikiran Issumboshi
tidak akan diubah. Segera mereka mulai mempersiapkan perjalanannya.
Issumboshi menyarungkan pedang jarum dalam kotak jerami, taruh
pada cangkir untuk topi sedge, dan mulai dengan tongkat sumpit, di
semangat tinggi.
"Aku pergi sekarang," kata Issumboshi.
“Apakah dia aman? Dengan tubuh sekecil itu?” Kakek dan
Nenek bertanya saat mereka mengantarnya pergi.
Issumboshi melanjutkan perjalanan dengan keinginan besar dalam tubuh kecil.
… … …
Akhirnya Issumboshi mencapai ibu kota dan berlabuh
di bawah jembatan. Kemudian dia naik ke pagar dan melihat
kota.
“Ada istana api di sana. Saya akan bertanya kepada mereka segera. ”
Akhirnya Issumboshi tiba di istana.
"Maaf, tapi saya ingin bertemu tuan feodal."
Tuan datang ke pintu, “Apa? Siapa disana?"
"Ini aku, di kakimu."
"Oh. Betapa kecilnya! Kenapa kau ingin bertemu denganku?”
"Tolong biarkan aku menjadi pengikutmu."
"Aku ingin tahu apakah tubuhmu yang sangat kecil bisa melakukan apa saja."
"Aku akan tetap di sakumu dan menjagamu dari semua bahaya." Kapan
Issumboshi berkata begitu, seekor lebah datang berdengung. “Ya!” Issumboshi
teriak, menusuk lebah.
“Bravo! Saya mempekerjakan Anda. Akan lebih baik jika kamu menjadi
Laki-laki Putri.”
"Oh! Betapa lucunya dia!” kata Putri, menempatkan
Issumboshi di telapak tangannya.
"Aku akan membelamu seumur hidupku," kata Issumboshi.
Sang Putri menyukai Issumboshi, dan dia mengajarinya membaca,
menulis, dan berbagai penelitian. Selanjutnya, Issumboshi berlatih anggar
sangat keras untuk menjadi kuat.
Suatu hari sang Putri pergi untuk beribadah di Kiyomizu
Kuil. Tiba-tiba ada angin kencang, dan beberapa setan
muncul. Pemimpin iblis mencoba meraih Putri.
"Tolong aku!" dia berteriak. Issumboshi mencoba membantunya, tapi—
setan menangkapnya dan melemparkannya ke mulutnya. Issumboshi,
yang ditelan, ditusuk dan ditusuk perut setan. Itu
iblis berguling dan meludahkan Issumboshi.
Issumboshi melompat ke arah iblis dan menusuk matanya. Itu
setan yang tersisa ketakutan. Mereka melarikan diri dengan sangat tergesa-gesa,
tetapi satu iblis, yang tertinggal, gemetar sambil memegang
palu ajaib.
"Apakah kamu ingin aku menusuk matamu juga?" tanya Issumboshi.
“Tolong, jangan. Ini adalah palu ajaib yang akan memberimu
sebuah harapan. Saya memberikannya kepada Anda, jadi tolong lepaskan saya. ” Dan mengatakan ini, dia berlari
pergi terburu-buru.
“Terima kasih, Issumboshi. Anda telah menyelamatkan hidup saya, ”
kata Putri.
“Putri, tolong lambaikan palu ajaib ini dan buat permintaan
agar aku bisa menjadi besar,” kata Issumboshi. Sang Putri melambaikannya
dan bertanya, “Semoga Issumboshi menjadi besar!”
Dan kemudian, anehnya, di depan matanya, Issumboshi mulai—
tumbuh. Dia tumbuh menjadi pemuda yang baik. Mereka kembali ke istana,
dan Putri meminta Raja untuk mengizinkannya menikahi Issumboshi.
Putri dan Issumboshi kemudian menikah, dan mereka
mengundang Kakek dan Nenek untuk tinggal bersama mereka di
istana. Mereka hidup bahagia selamanya ke bh indo
