The Wasabi Mishap: A Funny Lesson in Life
東京の明るい朝、ちょうど太陽が空に昇り始め、街が目覚めていた。
On a bright morning in Tokyo, just as the sun started to rise in the sky, the city was awakening.
ヒロシは、まだ目が半開きのままバスルームへ向かった。彼が何も考えないで歯磨き粉を手に取った時、“あれ?”と思った。何かが変だった。歯ブラシに塗った明るい緑色は、普段の白い歯磨き粉に比べて少し異なって見えた。
Hiroshi stumbled towards the bathroom with his eyes half-closed. As he mindlessly reached for the toothpaste, he thought, "Huh?" Something was off. The bright green toothpaste on his toothbrush looked slightly different from the usual white toothpaste.
しかし、それにも関わらず、彼は歯ブラシを口に入れた。その瞬間、彼は突如として口の中が火を噴くように感じ、目がパチクリと開いた。彼は慌てて水道水を口に含み、口の中に広がる灼熱感を鎮めた。
Nevertheless, he put the toothbrush in his mouth. In that instant, he suddenly felt his mouth erupting with fire, and his eyes flew wide open. He hurriedly filled his mouth with tap water to calm the scorching sensation spreading inside.
その一方、アキコはキッチンで朝食を準備していた。ヒロシの大声と慌てた足音に驚いて、彼女はひょいと顔をのぞかせた。
Meanwhile, Akiko was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Startled by Hiroshi's loud voice and hurried footsteps, she peeked her head out.
"どうしたの?熱いコーヒーでも飲んだの?"アキコは尋ねた。
"What happened? Did you drink hot coffee?" Akiko asked.
その時、タケシが現れ、何が起こったのかを理解して、大声で笑った。"ヒロシ、それわさびだよ、歯磨き粉じゃない!"
At that moment, Takeshi appeared and understood what had happened. He burst into laughter and exclaimed, "Hiroshi, that's wasabi, not toothpaste!"
ヒロシは驚愕の表情を浮かべ、みんなの前で赤くなった。すぐに笑い話になり、ヒロシはその日一日、家族からいじられ続けた。それからというもの、彼は歯磨き粉とわさびを間違えないよう、朝のルーチンをゆっくりと行うことにした。
Hiroshi wore a shocked expression and blushed in front of everyone. It quickly became a funny incident, and Hiroshi became the butt of jokes for the whole day. From then on, he decided to take his morning routine slowly, making sure not to confuse toothpaste with wasabi.
そして、それらすべてが終わった頃、家族は皆でその日の朝食を楽しみ、東京のこの新たな一日を迎えた。
