Fallen Leaves
Fallen Leaf
noun, の adjective
The leaf that falls are fallen leaves.
おちば
The reading for this one is a bit strange. You'll have to pull from your knowledge of 落ちる and use that for the first half. Then, 葉 is rendaku'd to ば. Because, when a leaf falls, Scrooge says "BAH! Humbug!" (probably because he's losing money).
目の前には、落ち葉のじゅうたんが広がっていました。
There was a carpet of fallen leaves that stretched out around us.
落ち葉をひろって天ぷらにしました。

「聞いてよ。最初は、お姉ちゃんの彼氏だから、フグと仲良くしようとしてただけだったの。でも、次々にいろんなことが重なって、知らない間に、お…落ち葉を一緒に熊手で集めてたの。」「ツ…ツナったら、なんてことなの。」「サーモン、待って。一度だけよ。それに、私は何とも思わなかったわ。」
"Look, when it started I was just trying to be nice to Fugu because he was my big sister’s boyfriend. Then, one thing led to another and before I knew it, we were... raking fallen leaves together." "T-Tuna. Why would you do that?" "Salmon, wait. We only did it once. It didn’t mean anything to me."
