1
The trees stood silent, the birds dared not sing,
2
even the wind moved softly as if afraid to make a sound.
3
Because in this jungle lived a king whose very name made hearts tremble.
4
He was the Lion.
5
But this was no ordinary lion.
6
Along with his strength he carried an insatiable greed.
7
He did not hunt merely to satisfy his hunger.
8
He killed animals just to display his power.
9
The creatures of the jungle were exhausted.
10
Deer, rabbits, even cunning foxes all lived in constant fear.
11
One day an old deer slowly stepped forward among the animals and said, If we do nothing today,
12
tomorrow none of us will be left alive.
13
Silence fell over the gathering, because everyone knew the lion could not be defeated by strength.
14
Just then, a small rabbit stepped forward.
15
His eyes held fear, but also a strange determination.
16
He spoke, We cannot win with strength, but we can win with wisdom.
17
The animals were astonished.
18
How?
19
The rabbit replied softly, We will turn the lion's greed into his weakness.
20
The next day the rabbit went alone to present himself before the lion.
21
The lion roared angrily, Why are you so late and why have you come alone?
22
The rabbit trembled as he spoke, Your Majesty, we were bringing several animals for you,
23
but on the way another lion stopped us.
24
The lion's eyes blazed with fury.
25
What did you say, another lion in my kingdom?" The rabbit nodded.
26
Yes, he claims to be the true king, and he kept the other animals with him.
27
Now both the lion's pride and greed ignited at once.
28
Take me to him immediately.
29
The rabbit led him to an old well deep in the jungle.
30
It was dark and deep, and its water was as clear as a mirror.
31
The rabbit pointed toward it.
32
Your Majesty, he is inside.
33
The lion looked into the well in anger.
34
He saw his own reflection in the water.
35
But his arrogance had blinded him.
36
He believed it was another lion challenging him.
37
The lion let out a thunderous roar.
38
The same roar echoed back from the well.
39
Now his rage reached its peak.
40
I will destroy you right now.
41
With that, he leapt straight into the well and drowned in the deep water, ending his story forever.
42
Silence spread across the jungle.
43
Then, slowly, a wave of relief followed.
44
The animals breathed freely once again.
45
The rabbit stood quietly.
46
There was calm in his eyes.
47
Softly he said, Greed and pride always blind the mind.

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。
