Long ago in the mountains of Japan, there lived a stonecutter. His name was Yoshi. He was a poor man.

　　很久以前，在日本的山里住著一位石匠。他的名字叫Yoshi。他是個窮人。

　　One day, Yoshi said: “I wish I could be a rich man.” Suddenly, the mountain spirit  appeared. “You will be a rich man,” it said. Yoshi’s house started to grow and grow. He was now rich.

　　有一天，Yoshi說:“我希望我能成為一個富人。“突然，山神出現了。“你會成為一個富人的，”它說。于是Yoshi的房子開始越來越大。他現在富有了。

　　The day grew hot. “The sun is more powerful  than me. I wish I could be the sun,” Yoshi said. “You will be the sun,” the spirit said again. And Yoshi became the sun.

　　天越來越熱了。“太陽比我更強大。我希望我能成為太陽，”Yoshi說。“你就是太陽。”于是Yoshi變成了太陽。

　　One day, a cloud got in the sun’s way. “I wish I could be a cloud,” he said. Then, he became a cloud. He began to rain. He rained hard . He saw many huge rocks on the mountain.

　　一天，一朵云擋住了太陽的去路。“我希望我能成為一朵云，”他說。然后，他變成了一朵云。他開始下雨了。下起了大雨。他看見山上有許多巨石。

　　“Those rocks are more powerful than me. I wish I could be a rock,” said Yoshi. Yoshi became a huge rock. He did not fear5 the sun and the rain. He saw a stonecutter. The man started to cut  him. “A stonecutter is stronger than me!” said Yoshi. “I wish I could be a man again.”

　　“那些石頭比我更有力量。我希望我能成為一塊石頭，”Yoshi說。于是Yoshi變成了一塊巨石。他不怕日曬雨淋。后來他看見一個石匠。那人開始切割他。“石匠比我強壯!””Yoshi說。“我希望我能再次成為一個男人。”

　　Yoshi became a stonecutter again. He started to work. He was poor, but now he was happy.

　　于是Yoshi又變成了石匠。他開始工作。雖然他很窮，但現在他很快樂。
