55. A Crane’s Payment for a Man’s Kindness One upon a time there was a old man who lived in a small village. This man was very poor. His name was Ohyo. He had a very simple life, but he was very happy. Do you know this story already?

56. A Crane’s Payment for a Man’s Kindness One beautiful day he was walking in the mountains. Suddenly he heard a sound. It was a very sad sound. He found a crane that was caught in a trap. It couldn’t get out. Ohyo felt sorry for the bird, so he helped the crane. He got the crane out of the trap. The crane was hurt, so Ohyo put some medicine on the crane’s injury to make it better. What do you think will happen next? Will the crane die?

A Crane’s Payment for a Man’s Kindness A few days later, a beautiful woman came to Ohyo’s door. “I’m sorry to bother you,” she said, “but I don’t have any place to stay and it is very late.” When Ohyo saw the woman, it was love at first sight. “You can stay here in my house,” he answered. Ohyo loved the woman so much that they got married. They were very happy together, but life was difficult for them because they didn’t have any money. One day the woman made some beautiful cloth for Ohyo. She said, “This cloth will sell for a high price. I have made this to help you.” What do you think the cloth was made of?

59. A Crane’s Payment for a Man’s Kindness Ohyo took the cloth to the market to sell it. He was very surprised when he was able to get a lot of money for the cloth. He asked his wife to make some more cloth. At first, she was reluctant to do it. Then Ohyo talked to her about this for a long time. “Please, please, please make more cloth for me,” he asked. Finally, she agreed to do this for him. However, she said there was one very important special condition.

60. A Crane’s Payment for a Man’s Kindness “I will make more cloth for you,” said his wife, “but you must promise me one simple thing.” “Yes, anything,” said Ohyo. “Whatever happens, you must never look at me while I am making the cloth. Never. Do you understand this?” she asked. “Can you promise this?” Do you think this condition is strange?

61. A Crane’s Payment for a Man’s Kindness Ohyo quickly agreed. He was so happy that she was going to make more cloth, and her promise was such a simple one. Why do you think Ohyo agreed to this condition so quickly?

One day, however, Ohyo could not stop himself. The door to the room where his wife was working was open a little. He walked to the door very quietly. He looked inside the room. He was so surprised.

65. A Crane’s Payment for a Man’s Kindness He did not see his wife making the cloth. He was surprised because he saw the crane that he had helped several months before. The crane was making the beautiful cloth from its beautiful feathers. Who was making the cloth? Where was his wife?

66. A Crane’s Payment for a Man’s Kindness The crane heard the door move. The crane saw Ohyo. “I am the crane that you helped. When I was in trouble, you helped me. I wanted to pay you back for your kindness, so I made this beautiful cloth for you. However, now you know who I am so I cannot stay here any longer.” In that moment, the crane flew out the window. Ohyo was in the room crying, “Please don’t leave. Please don’t go. I am so sorry.” It was too late. The crane was already gone. Does this story have a happy ending?
