Mike cat sings a song

The slope under Sasashita Seijuin is called Bozaka. It was the story of the time when the temple was called Seijubo.
There was a mike cat in the temple. Mr. Oshinzo (wife) was very cute of this cat, and the cat was very attached.
By the way, this Mr. Oshinzo loved singing very much and sang well with a beautiful voice.
One day, when a villager passed through Bozaka, a cute voice overlapped with the singing voice of Oshinzo.
"Oh, I wonder if there were children in this temple?"
When the villagers looked into the temple, they saw a little bit of a mike cat sitting at the feet of Mr. Oshinzo and singing together.
"This is a rare thing. What a cat sings so well?"
"Because I'm always near me, I've always started mimicking."
"Oh, that's right? Mike, and from now on, let the villagers know."
Then, every time a person passed through Bozaka, Mike Neko began to listen to a song with a more beautiful voice.
And the story of the cat singing the song spread to the neighboring villages, and some people bothered to listen to the song of the Mike cat.
But one day. The mike cat sits on the stone steps of the mountain gate of the temple.
"What's the matter? Don't you speak as usual today?"
The villager opened.
"I inadvertently fell into the pond yesterday. Nyan,"
"And did you get the case?"
"Mr. Oshinzo wiped his body and made it even Ojiya, so it's better."
"And why don't you tell me?"
"Ojiya is so hot that he can't sing,"
"I'm sorry. Okay, I'll take your favorite mattabi now. I'll be fine."
Four or five days later, around Bozaka, you can hear more beautiful singing voices than before.
