The Lost Ship 7

The Captain runs up on deck. There is
a thick mist around the ship.

The Captain looks around. He can see
nobody. He can see nothing.

Where is his ship? Where are his men?

He cannot see the sun. He is alone.

The Lost Ship 6

This is the Captain's cabin. But the
Captain is not here. There is nobody in the cabin.
There is a table and a chair. The ship’s log book
and a photograph are on the table.
The ship's log book is open.

The Captain reads the log book. He
sees the photograph on the table. He
picks it up. He looks at the photograph.

No! No! It can't be!
(どうした？）

The Captain looks at the photograph. It
is a photograph of a man.

The Captain looks in the mirror on the
cabin wall. He looks at his face in the
mirror. He looks at the face in the
photograph. They are the same.

It is a photograph of himself!
（なるほど、どうなっちゃってんの？

The Lost Ship 4

There is nobody at the wheel. Nobody
is steering the ship. The ship is sailing in
the wind. The wind is steering the ship.

The Captain shouts,
Is anybody here?

There is no answer. There is nobody
on deck.

The Captain is below deck. He is
looking for the ship's men.
He cannot find them.

Now he is in the cabin where the men
eat. There is a table.

There is food on the table. But who is 

going to eat the food!

There is water in the jug. But who is
going to drink the water!

There is a cigar in the ashtray. But who
is smoking the cigar?

ashtray：灰皿

The Lost Ship３

The Captain is shouting, 'Hallo! Is
anybody there? Can you hear me?
Is anybody there?”

But there is no answer from the
strange ship.

Are they ill!

men go in the boat with him. They row
across to the strange ship. They are
going to look for the men on the ship.

The Captain and his men are going home.
They are going to reach home soon.
They are well and happy.

Captain! There's a strange ship near us.
Can you come on deck?

Now the Captain and all the men are on deck.
They are looking at the strange ship.

It's a very strange ship.
There's no name on the ship.
There are no men on deck.
Where are the ship's men? 

strange：奇妙な、不思議な

The Lost Ship

This is the Captain of the ship. He is in
his cabin. He is writing in the ship's log
book.

The Captain writes in the log book
every day. He writes about the weather
and he writes about the ship. He also
writes about the men on the ship.

The ship is old. It is a sailing ship. The
wind blows and the ship sails.

Daniel Finds Poem ６

Morning dew glistens,
Crisp leaves crunch,
There's a home with many windows
in the old stone wall.
Cool pools to dive in,
Sun-warmed sand to lie in,
Singing at twilight when
the day is done.
Bright stars in the branches,
Moonlight on the grass,
And silent wings to take me
wherever I go.

On the way home, Daniel stops to watch
the sunset sky reflecting in the pond.
"That looks like poetry to me."
To me too," says dragonfly.

それは私には詩のように見えます。「私にも」とトンボは言う。
