Mike cat singing a song

The slope under Sasashita Seijuin Temple is called Bozaka. This is the story of the time when the temple was said to be Seijubo.
There was a Mike cat in the temple. Mr. Goshinzo (wife) loved this cat very much and the cat was very familiar.
By the way, Mr. Oshinzo liked songs very much and sang in a beautiful voice.
One day, when a villager passed through Bosaka, a cute voice overlapped with the singing voice of Mishinzo.
"Oh, I wonder if there were children in this temple?"
The villagers looked into the temple and found that a little Mike cat were sitting at the foot of Mishinzo and sang together.
"This is a rare thing. That the cat sings so well."
"Because I'm always beside me, I've come to imitate."
"Oh, that's right? Let me tell Mike and the villagers from now on."
Since then, Mike Neko began to listen to the song with a more beautiful voice every time a person passed through Bosaka.
And the story of the cat singing spread to the neighboring villages, and some people came all the way to listen to Mike cat's songs.
However, it was one day. Mike cat is sitting on the stone steps of the temple's mountain gate.
"What's the matter?" I don't say that today as usual."
And the villagers opened.
"I was inadvertently fell into the pond. Nyan."
"And did you get a goby?"
"Goshinzo wiped his body and made it even Ojiya, so it's already good."
"Why don't you say it?"
"Ojiya was so hot that my tongue was so hot that I couldn't sing."
"I'm sorry. Okay, I'm going to take your favorite matabi. Let's cheer up."
Four or five days later, around Bosaka, you can hear more beautiful singing voices than before.
