| Once upon a tine there was a Wood Cutter. Every day he went through the forest to collect wood to sell at the market, because he was very poor. One day he found an injured crane. He took her in and cared for her and saved her life and ability to fly. Because of that, the crane returned to him as a woman to show her gratitude. they married soon after and to repay her debt and show her love to him, she weaved every night cloth for him to sell at the market. Because of that, the Wood Cutter became richer but he wondered how his wife could manage to weave such fine cloth in bulk so quickly by herself, yet she had forbidden him from ever watching her weave. Until finally his curiosity overcame him and he broke his promise to her, and snuck into her weaving room, to see the Crane in her bird form weaving miraculously quickly. She stayed in her bird form and flew away, leaving the Wood Cutter by alone and poor again |
