赤毛の女が カンパネラに ちかよります。
「あなたは、どうして私のこどものころを しっているの？」
「そのころの キミを ずっと見ていたからさ。」
「どこから？」
「空から」
カンパネラは 空中帝国を さしていいました。
「ぼくは、空から来たカンパネラだ。」

赤毛の女の名は『ヨナヨナ』といいました。
カンパネラは ヨナヨナに 空中帝国の存在を つたえました。
『森』の人間たちは、空に人間が住んでいるなんて、古い いいつたえだと思っていたようです。
ながい時間が、おたがいの存在を 消してしまったのでしょう。
「キミたちの からだは、『森』に住んでいても、なんともないのかい？」
「おかしなことをいうわね、カンパネラ。人は森と ともに生きるものよ」
「ぼくの世界ではそうじゃない」
「空中帝国には森はないの？」
「あるけど、それは殺菌された人工の森さ。空中帝国に住むぼくたちの からだでは、
　自然の森で暮らすことはできない」
ふたりは、おたがいが暮らす世界のことを話しあいました。
そのうちに、カンパネラもヨナヨナも おなじことを思うようになります。
’’どうして、人間の世界が ふたつに わかれたんだろう？’’

Ep.27 「ドンキホーテ」を知っていますか？🐧🌛

ANGELICA: Doesn’t the bride look beautiful in that wedding dress?
MARIA: Yes. She looks amazing. And the groom is so romantic. 
I just heard the story of how they got engaged! He 
proposed to her during a candlelight dinner in London. 
Did you know that was where they went to school?
ANGELICA: Oh? Wonderful. And the honeymoon! What a great 
idea! Most people just go to the beach for a week 
after they tie the knot. But they plan on heading to 
California and cruising the coast on their motorcycle.
MARIA: Really! What a fantastic idea. This is by far the best 
wedding I’ve ever been to



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Doesn’t …? When you have a negative question, the expected answer is “yes.” As 
such, it expresses the exact opposite of what is being conveyed (i.e., the bride DOES 
look absolutely beautiful).
• Listen to the stress on honeymoon. There are three syllables in “honeymoon,” with the 
stress on the first syllable [HO-ney-moon]. This content word is culturally important, so 
it’s emphasized: It means a trip or vacation taken by a newly married couple.
• Tie the knot is an informal way of saying “get married.”
• Can you find and explain the two usages of just in this dialogue? “Just” is an adverb 
that can be used in two different ways:
 a) To indicate a very recent past (I just heard the story). When used to convey 
time, “just” is commonly used with a simple past verb because the action is 
complete. Sometimes it can also be used with the present perfect (He’s just 
finished writing a book).
 b) To indicate contrast or emphasis (Most people just go to the beach). In that 
case, “just” can be replaced by “simply” and emphasize the word it relates to 
(a verb, adjective or other adverb) by denoting contrast. Compare the following 
sentences: “They just got married yesterday” (adverb of time). “The wedding 
reception was just wonderful” (adverb of emphasis).
