posted on 2016-10-19, 00:00 authored by Dung Nguyen
A retelling of a well-known Japanese folktale about two brothers who had to divide their father inheritance. The older brother gave the younger brother only a small plot of land with a starfruit tree. However, the starfruit tree attracted a mystical bird, and in return for the delicious fruit, the creature offered to carry the younger brother to a gold mine. The older brother heard of this and exchange his fortune for the starfruit tree. Yet he was too greedy, carried too much gold on the bird, and fell into the ocean.
