はなさかじじい Hanasakajijii Grandfather Cherry-Blossom The Old Man Who Made Trees Blossom
Long ago in some place, there lived an old man and old woman with gentle hearts. It happened one day. When the old woman was washing clothes in the river, from up river a white dog riding on a board, toppun tappun, came floating up. The old woman picked up the puppy, and returned home. "It is such a cute puppy, who would float the puppy in the river? Ok, ok, from today you are our dog." The old man was also very happy. The puppy happily, kunkun, became tamed. The two without children, gave the name Shiro to the puppy, and put on a red collar. For every bowl of rice that Shiro eats, he becomes one bowl bigger. For every two bowls that he eats, he becomes two bowls bigger, and he grew up healthy.
It happened one day, th old man took along shiro , and went to th mountains. When th old man was gathering fire wood , Shiro suddenly barked and started to dig th ground with its fore paws. "Hey Shiro. What did you find? Let me see, I will help you dig. The old man swung up the hoe he brought with him, and dug the earth as hard as he could. "Ooops. What is this here? Dazzling, dazzling." In spite of himself, the old man covered his eyes with both hands. Inside the ground was glittering. Large and small gold coins came out (of the ground).The old man was surprised and amazed. He packed that money in a bag, and went back home. "Startling. Startling! I am about to be astounded!" In front of the mountain of gold, when the old man told the story to the old woman, the greedy old man neighbor approached. "What a great treasure it is! Where did you get it?" The greedy old man made a swallowing sound with his throat. And then, when he listened to the story, he said"Therefore, please lend the dog to me. I will also go to the mountain." and took Shiro with him.
The next day, the greedy old man, went to the mountain pulling Shiro. But Shiro never barked at all. The greedy old man slapped and unreasonably made to bark, the reluctant Shiro. "I understand. I understand. In here. In here." The greedy old man happily dug the ground. However the thing that came out, were only things like frogs and centipedes and rocks. Not even one gold coin came out. "This damned dog. How dare you cheat me!" The greedy old man became angry, and he killed Shiro, and burried him in the hole. Even though it became night, the greedy old man did not take Shiro back. The old man who loved Shiro, went to the neighbor's house, and "Such a dog, I killed and burried it. For a marker I planted one pine seedling over it." "the greedy old man said in anger. The old man who loved Shiro, went back home while crying. And then, the morning of the next day, with the old woman, he went out to Shiro's grave. And then, in one night the pine seedling became a big tree.
The old man and old woman, cut the pine tree and made a mortar. In that mortar they made rice cakes, and small gold coins chariin. With the second stroke, large gold coins charichariin. The rice inside the mortar, all changed to gold coins, and began to overflow. The old lady neighbor approached, to there. When she saw the gold coins overflowing from the mortar, the old woman made a swallowing sound, gubiri. And then, "Lend the mortar to me too for a while." and she went carrying the mortar. The old woman neighbor, cooked the rice right away, and with the old man began to pound the rice cakes. However, with the first stroke, rotten garbage (came out) guja. rotten garbage (came out) guja. stinking mud . The rice in the mortar, changed into stinking dirty things, and scattered over the surroundings. The old man's face and the old woman's face were also covered with mud. The angry greedy old man, smashed the mortar, and burned it on the stove.
The old man who loved Shiro, went to get the mortar back, and the neighbor greedy old man, had a fierce look in his eyes. "You want the mortar back? Such a mortar, smashed and burned it. If you want it, take as much (of the ashes) as you want. It will help me to clean the cooking stove." The old man who loved Shiro, from below the cooking stove he scraped up the ashes, and put it in a bamboo basket, and trudged back home. It was that time. Suddenly a wind came blowing, and the ashes scattered around. And then, what a surprise. On the withered grass covered with ashes on the path, colorful flowers, bloomed out all at once. It looks like a flower field in Spring. His sad heart became completely cheerful. "How wonderful this is. Let me make many more flowers bloom." The old man climbed a large dead cherry tree, and Dead tree, dead tree, bloom!" He scattered ash to his heart's content. The cherry tree was in full bloom. "How beautiful this is! Let me try and make that tree bloom." The old man climbed the next tree, and "Dead tree, dead tree, bloom!" he said with a big voice, and scattered ash to his heart's content. Suddenly buds came out from the dead tree, and all together the flowers opened.
Just then, a feudal lord happened to pass. "Beautiful! Wonderful, old man! Japan's best Grandfather Cherry-Blossom will win a prize." The feudal lord is very pleased. The old man received many prizes, and returned home. The greedy old neighbor man saw this happening from behind his house. "Alright. I will also win a prize." He collected the remaining ash from below the cooking stove, and in a great hurry went to the place of the feudal lord. "My feudal lord. I am also Japan's best Grandfather Cherry-Blossom. I will make this tree bloom." He said that, and climbed a dead tree, "Dead tree, dead tree, bloom flowers!" and scattered ash to his heart's content. However, the flowers far from blooming all the ashes covered the feudal lord, and caused a big trouble. "You are insolent. What are you doing to the feudal lord." The retainer tied up the greedy old neighbor man with a rope, and finally took him to prison.
