It apparently is NHK's story of the domos, and it is very very sad.
But my translation skills are limited. I know my kana pretty well, but even so I'm having trouble forming the sentences correctly.
I'm most interested in the translations of 2:14 and forward, can anyone help?
I want to know actually what the text says is happening, I'm sure someone here can tell me.
SO SAD :'( Can someone help translate?

Is it basically saying the domos who ate the fruit died?
Or did they just sleep forever? The domo story is just too sad, why is it so sad?
Thank you for the translation. *nods* If you could clear up that one part for me, that is all else I ask.

the clip says "they started sleeping and never woke up"
so i assume it really just means they slept forever, but not died.
