Juan Salvador Gaviota

『森』の観察をはじめてから、１週間ほどたったある日のこと、カンパネラ少年は、たいへんな発見をしました。『森』の奥にある湖のほとりに、カンパネラ少年とおなじ年くらいの赤毛の女の子がヒョッコリとあらわれたのです。
「どうして『森』に人間がいるんだ？」
さらにおどろいたことに、女の子は防護スーツを着ていませんでした。
人間は『森』では生きられないはずです。学校ではそう習いました。
しかし望遠鏡には、『森』の中で笛をふく女の子のすがたが、たしかにうつしだされていました。

その日から、カンパネラ少年は、『森』にむけた望遠鏡を毎日のぞくようになりました。
観察をつづけていると、いろんなことがわかってきました。
『森』にはおとなの男の人や女の人も暮らしていました。空中帝国とおなじような暮らしが、
そこにあったのです。
しかし学校では、あいかわらず、「『森』は細菌だらけで人間は住むことができない」と習います。
これは、いったいどういうことでしょう？

This is the first short episode in the story where two people meet. See the transcript below to help aid your comprehension.

Welcome English learners! Today we’re going to begin a story that will last for several episodes. You can listen to the story episode by episode and grow your vocabulary and listening skills. Enjoy!

James looked over his shoulder. He saw something running toward him very fast. His heart started beating rapidly. He thought it was a person, but when he turned to face them, he realized that it wasn’t a person. It was a large black dog. The dog was getting closer and closer, but it wasn’t barking at him. In fact, the dog looked happy. Then he saw why the dog was running. There was a tennis ball bouncing and rolling toward him and the dog was chasing it.

James looked up and saw a woman about one hundred yards away from him. She was short and blonde. The dog grabbed the ball with his mouth and started running back toward her.

“Good boy!” she said.

“That’s a beautiful dog you have,” James said to her.

“Thanks! Actually, he’s not my dog. I’m just watching him for a friend this weekend.” she replied.

“Oh, I see,” said James. “Well, how did your friend get you to dog-sit for them?” James asked.

“That’s actually along story,” she answered with a smile.

James liked her smile and he had time to spare. He walked casually toward her and the dog. 

“I’ve got time. What’s the story?” James asked. “My name’s James, by the way.”

“Jennifer. Nice to meet you. Well, it actually started a few months ago when I was hanging out with my friend…” she said.

Well, that’s the end of the story for this episode. Tune in to the next episode to hear more about what happens with Jennifer and James. Be sure to write down any new vocabulary and listen again to improve your comprehension. See you next time!
