奈良市ならしにある奈良公園ならこうえんには鹿しかがたくさんいます。
19日にちから、ホルンという楽器がっきの音おとで鹿しかを集あつめる「鹿しか寄よせ」が始はじまりました。
鹿しか寄よせは毎年まいとし、春はる・夏なつ・冬ふゆの何日なんか、決きまった日ひにします。100年ねんより前まえからやっているようです。
鹿しかの世話せわをしている人ひとがホルンを吹ふくと、鹿しかが100頭とうくらい集あつまりました。子こどもの鹿しかもいます。
鹿しかはどんぐりをたくさん食たべました。
兵庫県ひょうごけんから来きた小学生しょうがくせいは「楽器がっきで鹿しかを集あつめることができることに驚おどろきました。自分じぶんもしてみたいです」と話はなしていました。
今年ことしの「なつの鹿しか寄よせ」は9月がつ27日にちまで、毎週まいしゅう日曜日にちようびに行おこないます。9月がつ6日かはやりません。

There are many deer in Nara Park, located in Nara City. From the 19th, an event called 'Shikayose', where deer are gathered by the sound of a musical instrument called a horn, has started. Shikayose is held every year on specific days in spring, summer, and winter. It seems to have been done for over 100 years. When a person who takes care of the deer played the horn, about 100 deer gathered. There were also fawns. The deer ate a lot of acorns. An elementary school student from Hyogo Prefecture said, 'I was surprised that deer could be gathered with an instrument. I want to try it myself.' This year's 'Summer Shikayose' will be held every Sunday until September 27th. It will not be held on September 6th.
