give rise to

Once upon a time, there lived an old couple in a remote village. Although life is not rich, it is quiet to live a frugal life. One day, the old man wanted to collect some firewood on the mountain, so he left home early in the morning.

After the old woman watched the old man leave, she packed the dishes and chopsticks, packed a big tub of clothes and went to the river to wash clothes. "It's really sunny today!" The old woman was very happy and soon came to the river.

When the old woman was washing clothes hard, she looked up inadvertently and happened to see something floating in the upper reaches of the river. When she looked carefully, it turned out to be a big peach that she had never seen before, and it was slowly drifting towards her. "Ah! This is really an amazing thing. " The old woman has never seen such a big peach in her life! It's like the moon in the sky accidentally fell. The old lady really opened her eyes.

"Ah! Big peach! Come on! " The old woman shouted. This peach seems to really hear the old woman's cry, and it floats in this direction.

"What an incredible thing!" The old woman went down the river and picked up peaches. This big peach is really heavy! The old woman had a hard time carrying the peaches ashore. But by this time, the old woman was panting like an ox. She put the big peach on the wooden basin and trudged home.

The old woman worked hard and finally came home. At dusk, the old man also came back from the mountains, carrying a lot of firewood and shouting happily: "wife!" I'm back! Is there anything delicious at home? I am so hungry! " At this time, the old man seemed to have discovered a new continent: "Ouch! What strange thing is this? Scared me. It turned out to be a big peach! So big, it looks delicious. " The old man said.

Seeing the old man's greedy face, the old woman took out a kitchen knife and cut the peach. But when she cut the peach, she heard "Wow! Wow! " I cried. It turned out that a healthy and lovely baby boy emerged from the peach and was crying loudly. What a strange thing! Such a lovely baby is hidden in this peach! The old woman quickly took the baby out and shook it happily because they had been looking forward to having a child. Therefore, the old couple are very happy to have this baby unexpectedly.

"Could it be that God in the sky pitied us for not having children and specially gave it to us?" The old man's heart is full of gratitude. So they knelt on the ground and thanked the gods for their blessing. At this time, the old man wants to give the baby a good name. He thought and thought, thought and thought. Finally, I had a brainwave: since the child jumped out of a peach, I named him "Momotaro".

process

The old man and the old woman had children in their later years, and they took care of Momotaro very carefully, not at all careless. Momotaro is a clever and lively child. He is healthy and lovely under the careful care of the old couple. The old woman often cooks dumplings for Momotaro. Momotaro ate the delicious dumplings cooked by the old woman, and grew taller every day. A few days later, he became a strong teenager. The old man and the old woman are really happy and loving.

One day, an old uncle from the port came to chat at home. Chatting and chatting, I actually talked about an incident that happened in recent days. The old man told Momotaro, "These days, a very bad monster came to the opposite island. This monster likes to bully people on the island. It destroyed people's houses and took people's things. Everyone hates and fears this guy. " Momotaro was very angry after listening: "This monster is really a big bad guy!"

Momotaro made a decision. He announced to everyone: "I decided to get rid of this big bad guy!" " "The old couple listened to Momotaro. Although they are glad that he is so ambitious at a young age, they are also a little worried. They made some dumplings to give their beloved children more strength to eat. The old man told Momotaro, "Good boy, if you eat these dumplings, you will increase your strength and defeat the monster as soon as possible." Momotaro said goodbye to the old couple and went out.

Momotaro was walking quietly when he met a little dog running towards Momotaro. It made Momotaro say, "Momotaro! Momotaro! Can I have a dumpling? I am really hungry. " Momotaro thought about it and gave the delicious dumplings made by the old woman to the little white dog. The puppy was very happy when he got the dumplings. In order to repay Momotaro, he decided to follow him to fight monsters and be a loyal servant.

Momotaro and the little white dog walked on when they met a little monkey on the rugged mountain road. The little monkey said to Momotaro, "Good Momotaro! Can you give me my favorite dumplings? I will be grateful to you. " Momotaro took out a glutinous rice balls without hesitation and gave it to the hungry little monkey. After eating the glutinous rice balls, the little monkey was full of energy and was willing to be Momotaro's servant and go on the road together.

Momotaro took a little white dog and a little monkey. They walked, and this time they met a pheasant. The pheasant flew over and asked like a little white dog and a little monkey, "Momotaro! Please give me the dumplings made by love! " So Momotaro gave the pheasant a dumpling. After eating the dumplings, the pheasant asked them the purpose of their trip, and Momotaro told it the details. So the pheasant is willing to be a servant and go on the road together.

Momotaro took the little white dog, the little monkey and the pheasant for a long time, and finally they came to the seaside. Looking from here, they saw the devil's island on the other side, so they were ready to cross the sea. "Uncle fisherman, can you lend us your boat? We will cross the sea to attack the hateful monsters and kill people! " Momotaro finally found a fishing boat and begged the fisherman. After hearing these words from Momotaro, the fisherman praised him very much and lent his fishing boat to Momotaro.

climax

So they raised their sails, worked hard with one heart and one mind, paddled against the wind and sailed for Devil's Island. Row, row! Finally arrived at Devil's Island. When they landed, they hid the fishing boat. This is a treacherous island. As soon as I set foot on land, I felt a terrible atmosphere. But Momotaro told his friends that no matter how difficult it was, they should go forward bravely, so they walked to the castle where the monster lived. The castle where the monster lives has an iron gate, which looks very strong. The iron gate is closed, no matter how hard they push and knock, they just can't open the door. "Wait a minute, I have a good idea." The little monkey put forward an idea. It turns out that monkeys are agile. He grabbed the pheasant first, then jumped into the city wall and quickly walked into the city. The little monkey found the gate, but there was no guard at this time, so he opened the gate smoothly and let his companions in.

"Rush! Go! " Momotaro and his companions rushed in quickly. They shouted bravely and rushed to the place where the monster lived. At this time, like monsters, they were awakened by their cries.

"Damn Momotaro! Don't be too arrogant! " The leader of the monster shouted angrily, "kill them all!" Don't leave any! " The monster leader picked up a stick and ran after it in disgust. Momotaro is not afraid at all. Momotaro unhurriedly took out a glutinous rice balls and swallowed it calmly. "Smelly monster! What's your name? I swallowed the world's first dumpling, and my strength increased by a hundredfold! Who's afraid of who! Come on! Come on! " Momotaro bravely faced the monster leader. It didn't take two or three times for the monster to be subdued by Momotaro. Momotaro caught the monster and hit him like rain with his fist. The monster was beaten by him and shouted "alas!" Ouch! It hurts! "Little White Dog" Woof! Woof! Wang! "shouted. It bit the monster's foot hard. The little monkey also stretched out his claws to catch the monster's face. At this time, the pheasant also pecked the monster's eyes with its sharp mouth. These monsters were beaten to pieces by them and begged for mercy.

"ouch! Ouch! Oh, my God! I can't stand it! Help! Give me a break! " These monsters were defeated by the bravery of Momotaro and his friends. They were all beaten and fled, begging for mercy on their knees. The monsters fell to the ground one by one, in a panic. The leader had to hand over his weapon and put up a white flag to surrender.

"Momotaro, please forgive us! We will never make trouble again. "

"However, you must swear never to hurt the people again, or I won't forgive you."

So the monsters vowed not to do bad things again. The little monsters put their hands on their heads to show their sincerity, and Momotaro forgave them.

"Good good, everybody up! As long as you stop making mistakes, we can become good friends. " Momotaro picked up the weapon handed over by the genie and said, "Hand over all the jewels you usually take from ordinary people so that I can return them!"

Final results

"yes! Yes! Everything is as you wish! I immediately asked for the following! " The monster leader ordered his men to remove all the stolen jewels. So Momotaro piled these gold and silver jewels on a cart and left Devil's Island happily.

When they returned to the village, the villagers gathered around to welcome the little soldiers. The village chief praised him and said, "Good boy, what a loss! Hard work! " Momotaro returned the gold, silver and jewels to people. At this time, the county grandfather also heard the news, so he sent someone to give Momotaro a lot of money and wrote a letter to praise him.

However, the kind Momotaro was rewarded by the county grandfather, so he took the money to help the poor villagers. The villagers are very grateful. County grandfather saw this situation and praised Momotaro's behavior very much.

The county grandfather was moved to invite Momotaro to the official residence and said, "Momotaro! You are such a kind child. I have decided to betroth my daughter to you. What do you mean? " Momotaro was flattered. "My Lord! I hope to get the consent of my parents. "

So Momotaro went home and asked the old man and the old woman for advice. The old man and the old woman were very happy to hear the good news, and the old couple readily agreed.

So Momotaro married grandpa's daughter under the blessing of the villagers. The daughter of the county grandfather is also a good girl, who knows the book well and is filial to her parents. Since then, grandpa's daughter in Momotaro and County has lived a happy life.

Japanese fairy tale "Dai's Tibetan Bodhisattva";

Once upon a time, there lived an amiable old couple in the countryside of Japan. Although they work hard, they are still poor.

Almost three meals. One day, the old woman told the old man, "My wife, we will celebrate the Spring Festival tomorrow, but."

Look at our rice jar! There is only a little glutinous rice left, just enough to make a small rice ball. If this continues,

what can I do? "At this time, the old woman's face was full of sadness and disappointment, and she was not worried about the arrival of the New Year.

Happy.

But the old woman was optimistic again at once. She said, "My wife! Although there is only one grain of rice, I can still make one.

Delicious rice balls! "

The old man felt very happy. But just as they were talking, a group of young people appeared in the mouse hole in the corner.

The mouse kept crying around its mother because it was too hungry to stand and clamored for something to eat. But old.

Mother mouse can't help it. The little mice "cheep!" Hey! "I began to cry.

The old woman and the old man are also very sad to see this mood. "What a pity! You can have this glutinous rice! no

Cry again! Make these glutinous rice into some delicious rice cakes to welcome the new year! "Husband guild those glutinous rice.

To these hungry mice.

The mice were very happy to get the glutinous rice, so they quickly ground it into rice cakes. The mice "touch!

Touch! "With children, ready to make a sweet and delicious rice cake.

When the old man and the old woman were eating porridge, they saw the little mice remove many leaves that could be used as hats.

Walking towards them. Mother mouse said, "The children got the glutinous rice you gave them and wanted to repay your husband well."

The goodness of this woman. Now these leaves are all here, please collect them, which may be helpful to you. Please don't be disgusted.

Take it! "The old couple are very happy to see so many leaves.

The old woman looked at the leaves and suddenly thought of an idea, so she quickly told the old man.

"Wife, you see so many leaves, why don't we weave these leaves into hats? That's it. Take it to the street and sell it.

Well, you can also buy some glutinous rice! What did you say?/Sorry? "

"What a great idea!" The old man replied. So they began to knit hats, and the mice ran away as soon as they saw them.

Come out and help.

Finally, they finished five hats, so the husband is fair:

"So you can take it to the street to sell. When I earn money, I will buy some glutinous rice, carrots and vegetables.

Food! "

The old woman folded those hats and gave them to the old man, so the old man said goodbye to the old woman and the mice.

Go out of the house and sell hats on the street. At this time, it was snowing heavily and a thick layer had accumulated on the ground.

"wife! You should take care of yourself and be careful on the road! "

Before long, the old man saw six people standing in front. He went to the front and saw:

"ah! It turned out to be a Tibetan bodhisattva! Why is there all snow on your head? " So the old man began to put the head of the Tibetan bodhisattva

The snow on the mountain drifted away.

"The old man is going to sell hats in the street. When the old man makes money, he will buy some glutinous rice to make rice cakes to support the bodhisattva.

Kid. But now I must make snowballs with these snows to support the Bodhisattva. Please be patient with them first! "

When the old man finished, he picked up the snow on the ground, made it into a snowball, and put it in front of the Tibetan Bodhisattva.

He prayed devoutly for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he tidied up and hurried on his way.

The old man came to the busy street. At this time, the whole street is busy shopping for new year's goods.

"come on Come on! And carrots and white radishes! And great fruits and vegetables! Everything, come and buy it.

Ah! "

The sound of selling is one after another. Looking at these vendors selling vegetables and rice, they shouted hard and the old man followed suit.

Shouted, "Do you want to buy a nice hat? Come and buy it! Excellent hat! "

Who will buy a hat on such a big night, despite the old man's hard sales promotion? After a long wait,

Nobody came either. Almost everyone wears hats when they go out, because the snow is really heavy.

"alas! If you can't sell it like this, I don't even have to buy glutinous rice and vegetables and carrots. If that old woman sees that I'm empty,

Go back, you must be disappointed! "The old man sighed and looked at the hurried pedestrians in a daze, but he could do nothing.

That's it. I don't know how long I've been standing. The sun went down and the sky gradually darkened.

Vendors selling rice and vegetables also closed their doors and prepared to go home for the New Year. After some time, a line gradually formed in the street.

People have gradually dispersed, leaving only the silent streets.

Disappointed and tired, the old man walked back to the road with thick snow. At this time, the old man in the temple heard it.

There came the sound of ringing the bell "dong! Hey! " The moon has also risen.

"The bell of the temple rang and the year was over. I hope that next year will be a wonderful year. " The old man was silent in his heart.

Silent prayer.

The old man walked, walked and finally came to the village.

When the old man looked up and saw the Tibetan Bodhisattva during the day, the snow covered their heads again. So the old man stretched himself and was frozen.

Hand, began to clear the snow on their heads one by one, by this time the old man was hungry and had no strength at all.

"Bodhisattva! The old man didn't sell any hats today. He wanted to buy some rice cakes to support you, but now he has done it.

Not here. Please forgive me! Now there are only these hats left. If you don't mind, I'll put it on the bodhisattvas! "

The old people then put on their hats one by one, held the Tibetan Bodhisattva and fastened their belts. But in the end, it became less.

One. The leaves given by the mouse are only enough to knit five hats. Now there are six bodhisattvas. What should we do?

Six bodhisattvas are really a headache for the old people, five hats and six bodhisattvas. What a headache. The old man finally decided to put himself

Take the cloth off your head. When he took off his turban, it was already wet with snow.

"No way, I have to beg the Bodhisattva to be wronged." So the heads of the six bodhisattvas don't have to be frozen by snow, dear.

So he squatted on the ground, kneaded the snow into six snowballs, offered them to the Buddha one by one, and then went home.

Even his headscarf was given to the old man, Tibetan Bodhisattva, and his head was covered with snow. He said loudly:

"Old woman! I am back! " The old woman hurried out from the inside.

"Thank you, my wife. Are all those hats sold out? "

"I got rid of everything." The old man replied. The old man told the old woman in detail what happened today.

I'm also worried that the old woman will lose her temper.

However, I didn't expect the old woman to laugh and not be angry at all. The old man felt very strange.

"This is a good thing! How can I be angry when you have done this good thing? It's snowing so hard outside, you're bound to freeze.

Okay？ Come to the fire to keep warm, or you will freeze. "The old lady said.

At this time, the mice who followed the old woman out to meet them were very disappointed at first, but at last they heard the old woman's words.

Say that finish, I smiled.

"This is the New Year without rice cakes." The old man said to the old woman and the little mice.

As a result, the old couple still only ate sauerkraut, mixed with porridge, and purred to welcome their New Year.

At this time, the old man had a new idea. He said:

"Although there is no glutinous rice, we can pretend to be making rice cakes now." So he patted his own with his palm.

Knees, the old woman also pretended to rub the rice cake and began to learn to do it.

At this moment, suddenly there was a "hey hey! Hey! " Sound. It seems that someone is pulling the snow.

The old woman and the old man heard the sound of skiing and drinking hard. They feel very strange, such a cold night.

Who else will work outside? Why don't you go out and have a look? The husband was just about to stand up when he heard someone talking:

"Help me put on my hat. Where is the old man? Where is the good old man's house? "

It turns out that these are the six Tibetan bodhisattvas who were put on hats and headscarves by the old people today. They are pulling a heavy snow.

The sleigh gradually came to the old man's house. There are many sticky rice, carrots and vegetables, miso and so on on the sled.

They came to the place where the old man lived.

"The home for the elderly has arrived, and a kind old man lives here." When the bodhisattvas had finished speaking, they said that one was very strange.

The sled full of food just stopped at the old man's door.

Then, the Bodhisattvas took the rice and vegetables off the sled: "Hey! Hey! " They shouted rhythmically.

When all this food has been moved down, we will go back the same way.

The old man and the old woman opened the door, but at that moment, the Tibetan Buddha had disappeared, leaving only snow.

Ski marks. Both the old man and the old woman were stunned by these unexpected things.

There are mountains of food in front of us. No matter the old man or the old woman, they are all pious in the face of what the Tibetan Bodhisattva gives.

Cross your hands and worship.

"Thank you for the gift of the bodhisattva. The gifts given by the Tibetan Bodhisattva to some hats are too heavy. I lied and thanked the Bodhisattva. "

The old man and the old woman cooperated with the mouse family to move these gifts into the house. At this time, the old lady put those products

All the utensils covered with thick dust are taken out and ready to make some delicious rice cakes.

The old man and the old woman had a very rich New Year's Eve dinner. They also put all the foxes, bears and rabbits nearby.

Call and have dinner together.

The old woman's craft is great, but because of her poor family, she has never had a chance to display her talents. Now the Tibetan Bodhisattva rewards her.

So many things, I wish I had a chance to show them. Small animals are enjoying food and singing happily. They just sang it again.

Sing and dance to welcome the new year.

The old man and the old woman were very grateful and hid the food given by the Bodhisattva, so they took a lot of delicious rice cakes and food together.

Things, braved the wind and snow, came to the bodhisattva.

This time, the old man and the old woman respectfully presented food to the Bodhisattva.

The old man put his hands together and prayed silently: "Bodhisattva! Thank you for your reward and let us have a rich New Year! "

The old man looked up at the bodhisattvas, who seemed to be smiling.

Japanese fairy tale "Grandpa Blossoms";

Once upon a time, there were a pair of grandparents. One day, grandma went to the river to wash clothes, and suddenly something red and sticky floated upstream. Grandma took a closer look. It was a very big red persimmon.

Hold it in your hand and observe it carefully. It seems delicious. I took a gentle bite and it tasted really good. I couldn't help eating it all. Grandma suddenly felt that there was nothing left for grandpa, and it didn't seem very good, so she shouted in the upstream direction of the river:

"Come again, give me the old man to eat! ……"

After shouting for a long time, another same red persimmon finally floated from the upstream. Grandma went home happily with persimmons. Put the persimmon in the pool, hang the curtain and wait for the wife to come back. After dark, grandpa finally came back.

"Grandpa, I picked up a red persimmon from the river and put it in the pool. Look at it. "

"Really, that's great." Say that finish, grandpa went to the pool and opened the curtain. As soon as he saw it, the persimmon disappeared and was replaced by a puppy.

"Look, old woman, where there are persimmons, there are puppies."

"The puppy? I clearly put persimmons. "

"However, it is not bad to have a puppy."

Grandma also leaned in and took a look. It was a lovely puppy. The old couple happily adopted the puppy and carefully fed it with food and fish. Soon, the dog grew up and was very smart. One day, the dog said to grandpa:

"Please prepare a straw bag and a shovel and put them on my back."

"That will crush you, won't it?"

"No, put it on."

No way, grandpa found a bag and a shovel and put it on the puppy's back.

"Grandpa, you also sit on my back."

"There are already bags and shovels. If I sit on it again, you can't stand it. "

"Nothing, just sit up, and then please close your eyes again."

So grandpa sat on the puppy's back and closed his eyes. The puppy took him for a while. After a while, he only heard the dog say, "Here we are, please come down." When I opened my eyes, I found myself in vilen.

"Take down the straw bag and shovel and dig here."

As the dog said, many treasures, large and small, were dug up from the soil.

"Put these treasures in a bag and carry them on my back."

"If this bag is full, it will be much heavier than before. Can you stand it? "

"Nothing, put it on."

Hearing this, the grandfather put the baby in a bag and put it on the puppy's back.

"Grandpa, please sit up and close your eyes for a while." Grandpa closes his eyes and sometimes flies away. After a while, he heard the dog say, "Come down, here we are." When I opened my eyes, I happened to be at home. I happened to be seen by my neighbor's old man when I moved a bag full of treasures into my house. He leaned in and asked:

"Brother, can you lend me your puppy?"

"This is my lifeblood. How can I lend it to others easily? "

"Having said that, just lend it to me?"

Grandpa really can't help it: "You lend it to me. Remember to return it to me immediately after use. "

"Ok, no problem." After that, the old neighbor took the puppy away, rudely put a straw bag and a shovel on it, sat on it by himself, slapped the dog's ass and head from time to time, and urged it to speed up.

After a while, the dog stopped and lay on the ground. The old neighbor thought the treasure might be here, so he jumped down and dug. However, I didn't see any treasure at all, and all I dug up was smelly mud. "This damn beast!" The old man was so angry that he suddenly swung a shovel and killed the puppy, and then went home angrily.

In the evening, seeing that the puppy hasn't been sent back, the grandfather went to the neighbor's house to urge: "Is it time to return the puppy to me?"

"That puppy took me to a hellish place, and all it dug up was dirty things. In a rage, I killed it with a shovel. The body is still there. If you want to take it, take it back. "

When he got there, grandpa found the dog's head broken and the body lying there. Grandpa brought back the body of the puppy with tears in his eyes, dug a hole near his home and buried it, and planted a tree on it. Since then, because I feel sorry for the puppy, I have to come to the grave to worship every morning and evening. Strangely, for some reason, the tree grew so fast that it didn't take long for anyone to hold it. So grandpa cut down the tree and made a mortar for pounding rice cakes.

Pouring rice cakes with this mortar made the usual pattering sound at first, but when it was pounded, it became Ding's voice. Grandpa's arrival is very strange. When he came closer, it was full of gold and silver. "This is the embodiment of the puppy!" Just as the old man happily poured out these treasures, the old man next door came again and wanted to borrow this mortar.

"Brother, can you lend me this mortar?"

"Oh, you still come to borrow. Remember that puppy you killed? It is made of a tree that grows on its grave, but I can't lend it to you! "

"That's true, but just lend it to me again."

"OK, but give me back the rice cake at once." Grandpa had no choice but to lend him the mortar.

The old neighbor immediately began to make rice cakes. At first, there was a pattering sound, but in the end, there was no ding sound, but a strange pattering sound, and the rice cake inside slowly became very smelly. By this time, he had forgotten his agreement with grandpa, swung an axe to split the mortar and burned it on the stove.

In the evening, grandpa saw that the mortar had not been sent back, so he went to his neighbor's house to urge him: "Should I return the mortar to me?"

"I used that mortar as a rice cake, and everything that came out was dirty and smelly. I split it and burned it when I got angry. If you really want it, take the ashes out of the pot. "

Hearing this, grandpa came to the stove with tears, cleaned up the dust below and went home. However, a gust of wind came on the road and blew away some ashes. Strangely, wherever these ashes go, they are immediately full of flowers.

"Interesting, this is also the credit of that puppy." Thought of here, grandpa carefully put away the rest of the ash. Just then, he heard that the official was coming to the village, and he was determined to show him the blooming flowers.

On that day, grandpa took the ash, climbed to the tree where the official was going, and waited quietly. After a while, the team of big officials came, and the police saw the old man in the tree not coming down to bow down. He shouted angrily to him, "What does that man do up there?"

"The villain wants to spread flowers here."

"What do you mean by scattered flowers?"

"If I throw some ashes here, the ground will blossom."

"Really?"

"It's absolutely true."

After listening to the report, the official found it very interesting and sent a message saying, "Just let him throw some ashes and see what the flowers look like." Grandpa grabbed some ashes and threw them down. Sure enough, he immediately opened a flower.

The official was very happy after seeing it: "Interesting! Come down and get the reward. " In this way, grandpa got a lot of money and went home with difficulty.

Hearing this, the neighbor's old man thought, "That old man is always lucky. I'm going to try my luck this time. " He cleaned up the rest of the ashes, and when the official came back and passed by, he climbed up the tree and waited. The police also found him: "What do you do, the man above?"

"I am also a scattered old man."

"In that case, give it a try."

So, the old man next door grabbed some ashes and left them behind, but he didn't open a flower. On the contrary, the eyes, nose and mouth of big officials and their families are all gray. The official was very angry: "Come down, you liar!" " "

Finally, the old neighbor was tied up and sent to prison.
