筍堀

今週の日曜日にマサの両親の家の近くで筍堀しました。スゴイ楽しかったんだ！
始めてので時間がかかったけど、マサのお父さんは速かったんだー。２，３回掘り返して、終わった。私は２０回位かかりました。その夜私は筍を茹でるつもりのために殻を引き剥がして、マサはそのこと見て、

「あれ！何をしてるんだの?］と言って、

「殻ままで茹でてよ！」

「えっ？ごめんね、どうする？」

「そのままに茹で見ましょう。」

まさのお母さんよりおいしけど、喜んでおいしくなったんだ。

On Sunday, Masa and I went digging for bamboo shoots near his parents' house. It was really fun. Because it was my first time, it took me a long time to dig one up. Masa's dad was amazing. He could dig one up with two or three digs. It took me about twenty. That night, I was going to boil them so I started husking them. Masa walked in to the room and exclaimed "What are you doing? You boil them with the skin on!" I replied "Sorry, what should we do?" He said we should try boiling them the way they are since I was almost finished husking them. Thankfully they turned out okay, albeit not as good as Masa's mother's ones.
