Episode 3: Often the old man and chestnuts.

Last Updated March 15, 2024

An illustration of a folk tale of "Goodly Grandpa and Chestnut Iga"

 Once upon a time, there was a good old man. The people of the village were holding their hands on this grandfather's well-being.
 When the rice ears in the rice fields were about to begin to appear, the villagers returning from Nora were talking loudly in front of their grandfather's house.
"Oh, I asked the young people in the neighboring village, but Hogoe, I heard that the chestnuts in the mountain there were many people."
"Hey, yes, then, I'll pick up the chestnuts of that mountain, and give it to me."
When I hear this story, I can't afford to throw it away.
"Shell, this is more than ear. If you don't have such a good fat, who will give it to others, you can't go to the rice field in Urachi, and you can't get the rice. "
The grandfather waited for the night to dawn, loaded a large bamboo basket in a Daihachi car and rushed to the mountains.
"Hey, there's a dust, there's a thing, I've got it.………。」
And, as soon as I knew each person, I still piled up one blue chestnut tree in a basket, sowed everything in my rice fields, and lived with an unreasonable face.
 Well, a little bit has passed since then. As far as the rice fields can be seen, the golden color was swelled in the wind, and the time of the long-awaited harvest came. In the grandfather's rice field, the rice ears seemed to be heavier than the other rice fields.
The grandfather, who came to harvest rice with joy, said, "Let's go." As soon as one leg was fitted into the rice field.
"Oh, there! He shouted and jumped up. At that time, the chestnuts that had been gently sowed were no longer visible due to the bushes of rice. The soles of the grandfather's feet, who jumped out of the rice field with too much pain and had a butt stick, were like a needle mouse.
 The grandfather who came to this is that since then he has never been greedy or tampered with the villagers. In fact, chestnuts are not useful as fertilizer. The people of that village did not deliberately say that they were baked, turned into ash, and then topdressed.
