Oh, it's shoebill....... And she's not moving a muscle.
Hippopotamus
ねえ、あなた。どうしたの?
Excuse me, is something wrong?
Shoebill
(ジーーーーッ)
*sta~re*
Hippopotamus
ちょ、ちょっと怖いわよ。ハシビロコウ。そんなに見つめないで。
Goodness, that's a bit frightening. Shoebill, we mustn't stare like that, it's uncouth.
Shoebill
ご、ごめんね。わたし、気になることがあると、つい、じっと見ちゃうの。
I-, I'm sorry. It's just that when I see something interesting, I start staring like that.
Hippopotamus
へえ、そうなのね。で、何がそんなに気になったの?
Is that so? Well then, what has you so interested?
Shoebill
カバさんは、いろんな子たちとよくおしゃべりしてるよね。
Hippo's always having conversations with all kinds of friends, right?
Shoebill
わたしもみんなとお話ししたいんだけど……。
I want to be able to talk to everyone like that too....
Hippopotamus
ついつい、さっきみたいに見つめちゃうのね……。
But then you end up just staring daggers at them......
Shoebill
そうなの……。どうすればみんなと仲良くなれるのかな。
Exactly..... What can I do to get along with everyone?
Hippopotamus
うーん。でもね、そういうところも含めてあなたなのよ。もっと自分に自信をもっていいと思うわ。
Hmmm. Well, you see, that desire to change and be friends with everyone is just as much a part of who you are as anything else. A bit of self-confidence is all you need.
Hippopotamus
本当のあなたはこんなにいい子なんだから、みんなもきっとわかってくれるわよ。
The real you is such a good child, I'm sure everyone else will be able to feel that, too.
Shoebill
ホント? そう言ってもらえてスッキリしたかも。ありがとう。
Really? That makes me feel so much better, maybe I *can* do it. Thank you.
