1
Little Pops One summer, a young grasshopper moved into a forest.
2
What a beautiful place, he thought.
3
I'll live here.
4
The happy grasshopper did a little dance.
5
Soon, a group of ants marched by,
6
carrying green leaves and grass.
7
Hello, new neighbors!
8
Grasshopper waved.
9
Would you like to play with me?
10
We're busy today, the ants said.
11
We don't have time to play.
12
Come on, Grasshopper said.
13
It's a beautiful day.
14
We'll have so much fun.
15
Sorry, the ants said before marching away.
16
The next day, Grasshopper woke up late.
17
He saw the ants marching by again.
18
Hi there, neighbors! he said.
19
Why are you out so early?
20
It's not early, one ant said.
21
We're working, another said.
22
Why do you need to work so much?
23
Grasshopper asked.
24
We're gathering food for winter, a little ant said.
25
Winter?
26
Grasshopper laughed.
27
It's summer!
28
It's too early to get ready for winter.
29
How foolish!
30
You're foolish!
31
An ant said.
32
Why?
33
Grasshopper asked.
34
You'll see.
35
The ant warned him.
36
As summer passed, Grasshopper spent each day having fun.
37
He slept late.
38
Then he danced and played.
39
You work too much, grasshopper said whenever the ants went by.
40
You play too much, the ants said.
41
Soon fall arrived, and the forest changed colors.
42
Leaves fell from trees, and the grass turned brown.
43
Grasshopper still played every day,
44
and the ants were busier than ever.
45
One morning, Grasshopper woke up feeling cold.
46
When he opened his eyes,
47
he saw it was snowing.
48
Snow covered the ground, and all the trees were bare.
49
Grasshopper shivered.
50
Winter is here.
51
I should look for food.
52
Grasshopper searched the snowy forest but couldn't find anything to eat.
53
The next day, Grasshopper still couldn't find any food.
54
He searched long and hard.
55
Eventually, he found the ants' home.
56
Please, Grasshopper begged.
57
Where can I find food?
58
I'm so hungry.
59
It's too late, one ant said.
60
Another nodded.
61
You won't find any food until spring.
62
What will I do?
63
Grasshopper sobbed.
64
The little ant looked at the other ants.
65
Grasshopper will die without food.
66
The others sighed.
67
Fine, one said.
68
There's only one thing to do.
69
That winter, Grasshopper stayed with the ants.
70
They shared their food with him.
71
Grasshopper was thankful for their kindness,
72
and he learned an important lesson.
73
As soon as spring arrived, Grasshopper darted outside.
74
Where are you going? the little ant asked.
75
Grasshopper smiled.
76
I have work to do.
77
I must gather food for winter.
78
In the spring, little red hen was busy.
79
She was planning for the winter.
80
She decided to plant some wheat.
81
Cluck, cluck, who will help me plant this wheat?
82
She asked.
83
Buh, buh, not I.
84
I have to rest, said the goat.
85
Oink, oink, not I.
86
I must take a nap, said the pig.
87
Okay, I will plant the wheat by myself, said Little Red Hen.
88
When the summer came, the wheat began to grow.
89
The weeds grew too.
90
Cluck, cluck!
91
Who will help me pluck the weeds? asked Little Red Hen.
92
Bah, bah, not I.
93
It is too hot outside, said the goat.
94
Oink, oink, not I.
95
I have to cool off in the mud, said the pig.
96
Okay, I will weed the wheat all by myself, said Little Red Hen.
97
When the fall came, the wheat was ripe.
98
Cluck, cluck, who will help me harvest the wheat? she asked.
99
Bah, bah, not I.
100
I am going to a party, said the goat.
101
Oink!
102
Oink!
103
Not I.
104
I am eating lunch, said the pig.
105
OK.
106
I will harvest the wheat all by myself, said Little Red Hen.
107
She harvested the wheat.
108
Then she took it to the mill and ground it into flour.
109
In the winter, there was very little to eat.
110
But Little Red Hen had flour to make bread.
111
Cluck, cluck, who will help me bake the bread? she asked.
112
Bah, bah, not I.
113
I am too tired, said the goat.
114
Oink, oink, not I.
115
I want to sleep some more, said the pig.
116
Okay, I will bake the bread by myself, she said.
117
When the bread was done,
118
Little Red Hen opened the oven.
119
The bread smelled delicious.
120
Cluck, cluck!
121
Who wants my bread now? she asked.
122
Bah, bah!
123
Me, me!
124
It smells really good, said the goat.
125
Oink, oink!
126
Me too!
127
It looks delicious! said the pig.
128
No, you won't.
129
Whenever I needed help.
130
You did not help me.
131
I will eat it all by myself, answered Little Red Hen.
132
So the goat and the pig stayed hungry.
133
Little Red Hen ate the whole loaf of bread all by herself.
134
One day, a merchant was walking home from the market.
135
He had loaded big bags of salt on his donkey's back.
136
Oh my, this salt is so heavy, the donkey thought.
137
It will be a long, hard trip home.
138
Soon they came to a stream.
139
As they entered the water, the donkey slipped.
140
Splash!
141
He fell into the stream.
142
When the donkey stood, his load felt much lighter.
143
That's odd, he thought.
144
Oh no, my salt!
145
The merchant cried.
146
All my salt is gone!
147
He sighed.
148
What an unlucky day!
149
Meanwhile, the tired donkey was delighted.
150
What a lucky day!
151
He thought, laughing aloud.
152
Hee-haw!
153
Hee-haw!
154
Soon they went to the market for salt again.
155
On the way home, they had to cross the stream again.
156
I know what to do, the donkey thought.
157
This time, he fell into the water on purpose.
158
Splash!
159
That's better, the donkey thought as he stood.
160
My load is so much lighter now.
161
He laughed aloud.
162
Hee-haw!
163
Hee-haw!
164
By now, the merchant was growing suspicious of his donkey.
165
The next time they went to market,
166
he bought bags of sponges.
167
He loaded them onto the donkey, and they headed home.
168
This is not a very heavy load, the donkey thought.
169
But I know a way to make it even lighter.
170
While they crossed the stream,
171
the donkey fell into the water.
172
Splash!
173
I'm so clever, the donkey thought.
174
The merchant frowned.
175
Stand up, donkey!
176
But when the donkey tried to stand, he could barely move.
177
What happened? he thought.
178
My load grew so heavy.
179
Now the sponges are full of water, the merchant said.
180
That will teach you a lesson.
181
Let's go.
182
Finally, the donkey managed to stand.
183
I was foolish, he thought as they started walking again.
184
Now my load is much heavier.
185
I must remember not to play tricks.
186
I don't like it when others play tricks on me.
187
Once upon a time, there lived a farmer who had a vineyard.
188
Though the vineyard was small,
189
the farmer worked hard and took good care of it.
190
In this way, he provided his three sons with a good, happy life.
191
The farmer loved his sons very much.
192
They had plenty of food,
193
which pleased the oldest son, who loved to eat.
194
They had comfortable beds, which pleased the middle son, who loved to sleep.
195
They had fine clothing, which pleased the youngest son,
196
who loved wearing fancy clothes.
197
The sons had everything they needed and wanted.
198
This made the farmer proud.
199
Many years passed.
200
The farmer grew old, but he still went out to the vineyard every day.
201
One day, he fell from a ladder while working.
202
He decided to speak to his children.
203
My sons, the farmer said,
204
I am too old and weak to continue working.
205
Someone must tend the vineyard or we will have no money.
206
It's time for you three to start working.
207
The oldest son rolled his eyes.
208
I'm too hungry to work.
209
The middle son yawned.
210
I'd rather take a nap.
211
The youngest frowned.
212
I don't want to get my clothes dirty.
213
The farmer shook his head in disgust.
214
How did I raise such lazy, selfish sons?
215
He thought.
216
Over time, the farmer found himself growing weaker.
217
Soon the house fell into disrepair.
218
The vineyard became neglected and overgrown with weeds and tangled vines.
219
The farmer knew he had little time left,
220
and he despaired over his lazy sons.
221
One night, the farmer called them to his bedside.
222
My sons, I will not live much longer.
223
There is something I must tell you before I die.
224
There is a very special treasure in the vineyard.
225
Find it, and it is yours.
226
The old man passed away that night.
227
The sons forgot about the treasure for a while.
228
But then, the oldest noticed they were running out of food and money.
229
Maybe father's treasure is money, he said.
230
Yes, the middle son said.
231
Father's vineyard was successful before he stopped working.
232
If we find that treasure,
233
we'll never have to work, the youngest said.
234
The sons went out right away.
235
The vineyard is overgrown, the youngest son said.
236
The middle son nodded.
237
We'll never find the treasure here.
238
We have to tend the vineyard first, the oldest said.
239
They cleared the weeds and trimmed the vines.
240
The soil was too hard to dig, so they watered it.
241
But they saw no sign of the treasure.
242
Every day the sons checked the vineyard,
243
but they didn't find the treasure.
244
Look! the youngest cried one day.
245
His brothers ran to him.
246
Did you find the treasure?
247
One asked.
248
No, the youngest said.
249
But grapes are growing again.
250
Should we pick them?
251
The middle son looked at the grapes.
252
Maybe we should pick them.
253
We could sell them for money.
254
Good idea, the oldest said.
255
We can look for the treasure later.
256
Several years passed.
257
The sons never saw any sign of the treasure,
258
but the vineyard kept them busy.
259
They watered the soil and pulled the weeds.
260
They picked grapes and tended the vines.
261
Eventually, they stopped looking for the treasure,
262
never realizing they had already found it.
263
The vineyard was successful again,
264
thanks to the sons' hard work.
265
That was the true treasure in the vineyard.

練習のコツ
この動画では、ゆっくりした話し方とナレーションが特徴ですので、shadowing（シャドーイング）の練習には最適です。最初に、動画の内容をじっくりと聞き、話の流れやスピードを掴んでください。一度目はただ聞き専念し、二度目以降はナレーターの声に合わせて、声に出してみてください。
特に、発音やアクセントに注意を払いましょう。IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つスキルです。繰り返し練習することで、より自然に英語を話せるようになるでしょう。また、shadow speechのテクニックを活用して、音としての英語を体験することが大切です。自分の声とナレーションを重ね合せることで、リスニング力と発音力が同時に向上します。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
