1
The Inch Prince Once upon a time,
2
there was a little old man and a little old woman.
3
Their names were Mr. and Mrs. Ping.
4
They lived in a tiny house by a river.
5
Every day they weeded the plants in their vegetable plot.
6
The beans look beautiful.
7
Fed the animals in their field.
8
The hens look happy and watered the flowers in their garden.
9
The lilies look lovely.
10
They had everything they wanted.
11
Well, almost.
12
I wish we had some children, said Mrs. Ping one evening.
13
Only a teeny child could feed in our tiny house, said Mr. Ping sadly.
14
But small things can be special too, said his wife.
15
I wouldn't care if they were just one inch tall, she added.
16
At that moment, a fairy flew by.
17
She heard what Mr. and Mrs. Ping said.
18
She noticed there are lovely vegetables, happy animals, and tall flowers.
19
These people are kind, thought the fairy.
20
I'll be kind to Dom.
21
She waved her wand and whispered some magic words.
22
Jumping beans and flying fish, give this folk their dearest wish.
23
Soon afterwards, Mr. and Mrs. Pink had a teeny-weeny boy.
24
In fact, he was just one inch tall.
25
Let's call him Isamboshi, said Mrs. Pink.
26
It means one inch boy or issy for short, said her husband.
27
Mm, very short.
28
Each year the pink vegetables grew better.
29
Their animals grew bigger.
30
And their flowers grew taller. But Izzy stayed small.
31
Maybe if I stand on tiptoe.
32
Izzy was tiny.
33
He had a bottle top for a bathtub.
34
He had a shoelace for a scarf.
35
He had a pea for a ball.
36
Go!
37
He had a bottom for a dinner plate.
38
And he had a matchbox for a bat.
39
Many years later, it was time for Izzy to leave home.
40
I'll get a job in the city.
41
His parents gave him three presents for his journey.
42
He had a rice bowl for a boat.
43
He had a pair of chopsticks for oars.
44
And he had a needle for a sword.
45
Izzy set off down the river, between tall mountains, past village,
46
around white woods, and through towns,
47
until he reached the big city.
48
I'll ask the emperor for a job, thought Issy.
49
But if I don't get squashed first...
50
At last, Issy reached the emperor's palace.
51
Two guards were marching up and down outside.
52
I'd like a job, said Izzy.
53
You are teeny, said one guard.
54
What can you do?
55
I can run past you for a start, said Izzy.
56
Hey, where did he go?
57
He jumped over the guard's foot and ran into the palace.
58
A maid was washing clothes.
59
I'd like a job, said Issy.
60
You are Winnie, said the maid.
61
What can you do?
62
I can run past you for a start, Issy said.
63
Hey, where did he go?
64
He jumped over the maid's soap and into the kitchen.
65
A cook was making dinner.
66
I'd like a job, said Issy.
67
You are tiny, said the cook.
68
What can you do?
69
I can run past you for a start, Issy said.
70
Hey, where did he go?
71
He ran around the cook's oven and into the next room.
72
Issy was in the thorn room.
73
He bowed to the emperor and the princess.
74
I'd like a job.
75
Please, your majesty, said Isi.
76
Would you, indeed, said the emperor.
77
He's teeny-weeny, daddy, said Princess Chi-Chi.
78
What can he do?
79
Well, I ran past your guard.
80
Your mate and your cook to get here, said Isi.
81
The emperor thought for a moment.
82
You can look after Princess Chi Chi, he said.
83
But daddy, mourned the princess, he's only one inch tall.
84
Small things can be special too, said the emperor.
85
From then on, Izzy never left the princess side.
86
He was there in the morning.
87
He was there in the afternoon.
88
He was there at night.
89
One day, the princess left the palace to visit her aunt.
90
Isi went, too.
91
They came to a dark forest.
92
I am scared, said Princess Chi-Chi.
93
I'll look after you, said Issy.
94
What can you do, said the princess.
95
Just then, there was a terrifying roar.
96
Grrrr!
97
Grrrr!
98
Help!
99
Help!
100
A giant ogre crashed through the trees.
101
He reached out to grab the princess.
102
Put her down, said Issy.
103
Put her down, said Issy, or I'll...
104
You, said the ogre, what could you do?
105
The ogre scooped up Issy and popped him in his mouth.
106
Mmm, I love bite-sized snacks.
107
Easy thought quickly.
108
He took his needle sword and pricked the ogre's tongue.
109
Take that!
110
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
111
The ogre spat out Easy and rang off.
112
Dad will teach him.
113
Thank you, Izzy.
114
Look, said Izzy.
115
The ogre left his hammer behind.
116
The princess tried to pick it up, but it was too heavy.
117
It's heavier than it looks.
118
I wish you were bigger, Izzy, she said.
119
Then maybe you could lift it.
120
A cloud of magic stars shot out of the hammer and swept around Izzy.
121
Izzy felt himself changing.
122
He grew bigger and bigger and bigger.
123
In seconds, he was as big as the princess.
124
I'm as tall as you, said Izzy.
125
The hammer granted your wish.
126
The princess fell in love with Izzy, but not because he was tall.
127
She loved him because he was brave.
128
They got married and lived in a house next to the palace.
129
The house was small, but Prince Isi and Princess Chi Chi were happy.
130
They both knew that small things can be special too.

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。
