X-Ray 

Once upon a time, there was a woman who had just immigrated to Japan. One morning, she had some pain in her right shoulder. After lunch, she went to Hello Talk Clinic. There were some written instructions for the x-ray on the wall but she could not read kanji. She asked a nurse to read the instructions aloud. 

The nurse read aloud, "For the patients who have X-ray examinations: Please follow the directions as you enter the room. Please, notify us if you are pregnant. Please, do not touch equipments in the room. Hello Talk Orthopedic Clinic" 

The woman understood the instructions and thanked the nurse. In the evening, the woman went to a coffee shop and saw the nurse who had helped her at the clinic earlier that day. The woman said hello to the nurse and asked her if it was okay to sit at the same table. The nurse said, “Sure!” They had a good time talking and became friends. The woman was very happy because she found her first friend in Japan. They exchanged messages with their cell phones everyday in two languages.

レントゲン

ある時、日本に移住したばかりの女がいた。ある朝、彼女は右肩に痛みを感じたので、午後になって、ハロートーク・クリニックに行った。そこでは、壁にレントゲンに関する注意書きが有ったが、彼女は漢字が読めなかったので、看護師に読み上げてくれるように頼んだ。

看護師は、読み上げてくれた。「X線撮影を受けられる方へ: 指示に従って入室して下さい。妊娠中の方およびその可能性のある方は、医師に申し出て下さい。室内の機器に触れないで下さい。ハロートーク整形外科」

女は注意書きの内容が分かって、その看護師に礼を言った。夕方になり、女はコーヒー店に行ったが、そこで、先程、クリニックでお世話になった看護師を見かけた。女は、その看護師に挨拶し、同席して良いか尋ねた。看護師は「どうぞ、どうぞ！」と言った。二人はおしゃべりを楽しみ、友達同士になった。女は日本で最初の友達が出来た事が、とても嬉しかった。二人は、二つの言語を織り交ぜながら、携帯で毎日メッセージ交換をしたとさ、めでたし、めでたし！
