After Queen Maza gave birth to her normal-looking child in the village named Beauty-a place populated entirely by deformed characters-she and King Shine were ordered to cast the child out from fear he would be their downfall. Tears fell for the first time on the sacred soil, and the Wind and River heard the sorrowful cries. Moved by compassion, they decided to take the child in and raise him as their own.
Under their playful guidance, he learned to care for the river's waves, to soar on swirling gusts of wind, and to keep everything pure and clean. Yet his new guardians sensed one final lesson remained. They named him Windter-a name whispered by both wind and river-and carried him to the Great Tree. Windter climbed to its highest point and sat above the world, watching all below with wide, curious eyes. There, he discovered how best to care for the air, the waters, and the lands.
So begins the extraordinary adventures of Windter, whose journey teaches children that beauty exists only in the eyes of the beholder, and that by caring for our planet's air, water, and land, we honor the gifts of life itself. WINDTER shines for every reader!
TRANSLATION
「ビューティー」と呼ばれる村では、すべての住人が歪んだ姿を美しいと信じて暮らしていました。ある日、マザ王妃（Queen Maza）がまったく普通に見える子を出産すると、その到来が村の破滅を招くとして、王妃とシャイン王（King Shine）はその子を追放するよう命じられます。涙が初めて聖なる大地に落ち、その声を風と川が聞き届けました。慈悲深い風と川は、その子を救い、自らのもとで育てることを決めました。
遊び心あふれる導きのもと、彼は川の波を大切にし、風の旋風に乗って飛翔し、すべてを清く保つ術を学びました。しかし、最後の教えがまだ残っていると風と川は感じました。そこで彼らはその子に「ウィンダー（Windter）」と名付け、偉大なる樹へ連れて行きます。ウィンダーはその頂点に登り、世界を見下ろしながら大きく好奇心を抱いた目で見渡しました。そこで彼は、大気、水、そして大地をいかに守るべきかを体得したのです。
こうしてウィンダーの並外れた冒険が始まります。彼の旅は、子どもたちに「美しさは見る人の眼に宿る」ということ、そして地球の空気・水・大地を大切にすることで、生命の贈り物を讃えるのだと教えてくれます。WINDTERはすべての読者に輝きます！
