カンパネラ爺は、机のひきだしから 古びたアンモナイトの殻をとりだし、
ラッパの根もとに むけました。あのときのオルゴールです。
ハンドルを ゆっくりまわすと、アンモナイトのオルゴールから
とても やさしい音色が ながれました。
アンモナイトのオルゴールの やさしい音色は、カンパネラ爺が５０年かけて 
こしらえたラッパを とおって、大きな大きな音になり、空中帝国の はしのはしまで
鳴りひびきました。こんな やさしい音色は、いままで だれも聴いたことが ありません。　
世界のすべてが、とまったかのようでした。
だれもが一度、手をやすめ、その音色に心を うばわれました。

朗読クラブ📚Reading to Japanese language learners 

朗読：『オルゴールワールド』#16にしのあきひろ著

El Sombrerón es un personaje misterioso que aparece en los pueblos rurales de Colombia, especialmente en los Llanos Orientales. Se trata de un hombre alto, delgado y elegante, que siempre lleva un gran sombrero negro que cubre su rostro. Aparece por las noches montado en un caballo negro y es conocido por enamorar y engañar a mujeres jóvenes.

El Sombrerón las corteja con melodías de guitarra y dulces palabras, pero una vez que caen en su encanto, las jóvenes empiezan a enfermarse misteriosamente. Se debilitan cada día más, como si su energía fuera drenada por este extraño ser. La única manera de librarse de él es evitar el contacto visual con su sombrero o usar crucifijos y oraciones para alejarlo.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日もN3の漢字をやります！
収、をやります！　

音読み　しゅう
訓読み　おさーめる、おさーまる

意味は、おさめる、あつめる、とかそんな感じですね。

例えば、

・収集ーしゅうしゅう　あつめること

・収入ーしゅうにゅう　自分に入るお金や物

・回収ーかいしゅう　一度はなれたものをあつめること

・徴収ーちょうしゅう　ルールにそって、税や手数料を取ること

・収束ーしゅうそく　ある状態に落ち着く

こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・彼はいろんな国の紙幣を収集するのが好きです

・収入が安定しないので、ドネーションでサポートをお願いします

・週に2回、ゴミの回収があります

・ではお伝えした通り、1人¥3,000を徴収させていただきます

・彼女とのいざこざは、ようやく収束に向かっている。



こんな感じです。
