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 have to use this snow to make snowballs 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.
This is a shorter,
One day, my friends and I were playing at the seaside. Suddenly, there was a storm on the sea, which washed me and my friends into a small puddle on the beach. At first, there was quite a lot of water. I am fresh. I swam freely in it and poked my head out from time to time to say a few words to the little shell.
Happy times always pass quickly. Unconsciously, at noon, the sun shines on the earth, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and the water in the small puddle is gradually decreasing. I heard the footsteps of death approaching me step by step.
Just then, an uncle came, and I shouted desperately, "Help me, help me!" " "But the uncle didn't understand me and went straight ahead without any response. Just when I was desperate, a little boy of seven or eight years old came in the distance, jumping happily. He is getting closer and closer to me, and I can clearly see his childish face and a pair of big blinking eyes, which gives people a sense of closeness. When he saw me struggling in a small puddle, he immediately squatted down and carefully picked me up and threw me into the sky. I thought to myself, "Ah, this is over! As soon as I landed, it turned into grilled fish. "But I fell into the sea. It turned out that he was saving me. Looking at the boy's distant back, I said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me ..."
