Translation:

1. Let's take a walk! I'm so glad you suggested that. Where shall we go? Let's go to the East, where the moon can shine on us. We came up with the same idea!

2. Let's go let the cows out to graze! I'm glad you said that. Where shall we go? Let's go to the West, toward the cool shade of the trees. We came up with the same idea!

3. Let's go for a stroll! I'm glad you suggested that. Where shall we go? Let's go to the North, where we can take a boat ride. We came up with the same idea!
