Translation

This mama duck found the right people to rescue her ducklings from beneath a storm drain.
このマガモは、豪雨の下水溝からヒナたちを救うのにふさわしい人たちを見つけました。
Almost done.
もうすぐ終わります。
Time to go to your mama.
お母さんのところに行きましょう。
Yep.
うん。
Let's go to your mommy.
お母ちゃんのところに行こう。
To the mommy.
お母ちゃんのところへ。
It was pouring rain.
ものすごい雨でした。
You gotta be careful because sewers can fill up with water.
下水道は水でいっぱいになることがあるので、気をつけなきゃいけません。
We were waiting for the fire department and we realized that they weren't coming.
消防署を待っていたのですが、来てくれないことに気づきました。
And every tiny peep coming from below made it harder to just stand around and do nothing.
下から聞こえる小さなピッピッという声がするたびに、ただ立ち尽くして何もしないことが難しくなっていきました。
We were fighting against time.
私たちは時間と戦っていました。
Honestly, hearing them but not being able to reach them must have been brutal.
正直、声は聞こえるのに助けに行けないのは本当に辛かったはずです。
So waiting around was officially no longer an option.
だから、待っているだけではもはや選択肢ではありませんでした。
We started googling.
私たちはググり始めました。
Is it possible to just lift the sewer drain lid?
下水道の蓋をそのまま持ち上げることはできるのか？
We saw someone do it on YouTube.
YouTubeで誰かがやっているのを見ました。
So we're like, okay, if they can do it, like we can definitely do it.
だから、もし彼らができるなら、私たちだって絶対にできるよねって。
The white basket.
白いバスケット。
Yes.
はい。
Then came the next question: Where exactly do you put an entire pile of rescued ducklings?
そして次の問題が来ました：救出したヒナたちの山を一体どこに置けばいいのか？
Apparently, in the most important laundry basket of all time.
どうやら、史上最も重要なランドリーバスケットに置くことになりました。
It's okay.
大丈夫だよ。
Pick them up one by one.
一つずつ拾って。
Here you go.
はいどうぞ。
Here you go.
はいどうぞ。
Okay.
オッケー。
The mother duck was waiting right next to the grass area.
マガモは芝生のそばで待っていました。
It was just beautiful to see the baby ducks running towards the mom.
ヒナたちがお母さんのところへ走っていくのを見るのは本当に美しい光景でした。
But we're almost done.
でも、もうすぐ終わりだよ。
That's fun.
楽しそう。
Come on out, Mama.
出ておいで、お母さん。
I felt how happy and relieved that mother duck was.
私はそのマガモがどれだけ幸せで安堵しているかを感じました。
It was just such a special moment, Mama.
本当に特別な瞬間でした、お母さん。
The baby ducks are saved.
ヒナたちは救出されました。
Yeah, they they found them.
うん、見つけたんだ。
They're going into the into the bushes.
茂みの中に入っていくよ。
And forty-five very stressful minutes later, her whole family was finally back together.
そして、非常にストレスの多い45分の後、彼女の家族はついに再び一つになりました。
Reunited, the family.
家族が再会しました。
bad person.
悪い人。
