Once upon a time, five little peas lived together inside   a pea pod in harmony and contentment.

Participle clauses

They slept all day, warmed by the sun, and at night they   would talk together and listen to the music of the Moon.

When the moon was a crescent, she strung  a silver   string on her points and became a harp,

When she was a full moon, she would boom like a mighty   drum. The peas would wake when they heard her music.

The eldest preferred the sound of the drum.

Doong, doong, doong! Let's beat the drum~

The second was mischievous and enjoyed the castanets.

The lyrical, sensitive third pea longed for the melody of the harp.

Today, the moon was in its crescent phase, and the   soft music of the harp filled the air.

Moon, Moon, who are you Moon,  and whence do you appear….

The other peas however, had different tastes.

They covered their ears and did not want to listen.

Ugh! The harp is dull and boring,  I don’t want to listen to this!

…and what about the Fourth and the Fifth?

I don’t care about anything, Life flows on like a river…

The fourth pea was melancholy and thoughtful, but the   fifth and youngest was very different.

He liked the castanets, the drum, and the harp the same.

I love them all. Each sound is special in its own way…

One fine day, the five peas suddenly realized how cramped their pod had become.

This pod is too cramped, I can’t sleep in here!

Suddenly, the pod burst open,  and the bright sunlight came bursting in.

Oh…it’s so bright! What’s happening! What is this light?

It doesn’t matter…I’m going back to sleep.

Unlike the Fourth pea, all the others were quite excited.

Why, our chance to see the world!  We   aren’t stuck in a tiny pod anymore!

But we know nothing about the outside world!  It could be dangerous!

The peas argued for a while about  whether they should leave their pod.

It may be dangerous, but we have to give it a try.

Finally, they decided to take their chances  and go on an adventure.

Leaping out of their pod, the peas slid down a thick   stem and landed in a furrow in the pea patch.

I hadn’t realized how far up our home had been.

The peas were overwhelmed at encountering  the world for the first time,

and were confused about where they should go.

Hey look, I found some peas that will  be perfect for my slingshot!

The First pea flew high into the air and far away.

The Second, Third, and Fourth also  went flying from the slingshot.

No no! I’m scared! Please put me down! I don’t want to fly!

I cannot resist the force of fate! I will follow my destiny!

At last, the youngest was launched from the slingshot.

Ooo….I feel like a cloud! It is so   wonderful to fly… so light and free! Woo-hoo!

Gazing through the window, he saw a little girl lying in bed.

She was very pale and thin, and was coughing weakly.

Here darling, try to swallow some of this soup.

I’m sorry…I feel too ill to eat anything right now…

Oh, but you must eat so you can get strong and healthy!

When the girl finally fell asleep, her mother   looked up at the sky and cried.

How can you be so cruel to me? Why do you   want to take my only child from me?

Do you not pity the sufferings of a mother  helplessly watching her child die?

Please save my daughter... Please save my daughter!

Beneath the light of the full moon,  the pea   rolled himself into the girls room

and sang for her to the beat of the drum.

Doong-doong-doong, play the drum!  Doong-doong-doong, play the drum!

I did. I can also sing to the   beat of the Moon’s drum. He he!

The girl could see the full moon outside her   window but she couldn’t hear its drum.

Oh! It’s true, I can hear it now…the drumbeats!

That’s right! You just have to believe!

If you believe, you can get better again.

No, my doctor says my disease cannot be cured.

Well…what if I can become something other than   a pea…maybe you can become healthy again.

But you are only a pea. What else can you become?

But what if I transform myself?  Will you promise   to change yourself too if I do?

The next morning, the girl woke up early.

Oh…It was just a dream…a talking pea..

Although the Girl didn’t really believe in her dream,   she could feel hope rising in her heart.
