Episode 3: Old man and chestnuts
Last updated March 15, 2024
Once upon a time, it had a good old man. And the villagers were holding their hands to the old man's well.
When the rice ears in the rice field were about to begin to appear, the villagers on the way home from the stray were talking loudly in front of my grandfather's house.
"Oh, I asked the young people in the neighboring village, but Hogoe, the chestnuts in the mountain there was a lot of fun."
"Hey, yes, then, I'll take the chestnuts of that mountain, and Makubee."
When I hear this story, I can't leave my old man.
"Hey, this is a story more than my ears. Who gives such a good fertilizer, who will give it to others, or go to the field of Urachichi, and the rice is growing. "
He waited for the night to dawn, he loaded a large bamboo basket on Daihachi car and hurried to the mountain.
"Hey, there's, there's, there's, I'll take it a lot.………。」
He said each person, and as perceived, he piled up in the basket without leaving the blue chestnuts, sowed all the rice fields of my home, and lived with a strange face.
Well then, it's been too long. The rice fields were mounted in golden color as far as the eye can see, waved in the wind, and the long-awaited harvest has come. In the old man's rice field, the rice ears seemed to be heavier than the other rice fields.
The old man, who came to harvest the rice with joy, saying, "Let's go!"
"Oh, be there! He jumped up, shouting out. At that time, the chestnuts that had been gently sown were disappearing in the bushes. The soles of his feet, who jumped out of the rice field and had his buttocks, looked like a needle mouse.
That the old man had never done greedy imitation or messing up with the villagers. In fact, chestnuts are not useful as fertilizers. The people in that village did not deliberately say that they would burn and ash, then turned into topdress.
