Japanese Folklore: A clean bear

saving people through justice is commendable, but it is not easy to be innocent.

we're going to tell the story of an innocent man.

in ancient japan, there was a man named kumamoto, a subordinate of aikawa, with very low positions.

he's short, he's flat, he's yellow, he's micropathic.

he's not old, but he's covered in wrinkles, with hair and beards.

he was humbled in his face and poor in his family, but he was humbled and devoted to buddhism, and his friends and neighbours were very fond of him.

one day he was sitting at the door in the sun, and he saw a man with old stockings walking by, walking around and drinking, "there are old shoes, old shoes, old ones are for sale!" when he saw a wooden sap in his basket, he stopped him, saying, "hey, you're not afraid of sin, how can you sell it?" the old-age taker is a man who eats his business, he can't take it too seriously, he laughs at me: "if he doesn't know, he'll sell whatever he wants.

i took it, too, since i would sell the buddha." the bear took this buddha's hand with respect and respect.

it was originally a buddha of the spectrum, carved out of the logs of the yang.

the buddha is one foot tall, and the carving is so pristine, so pristine, and so plentiful in the hand.

he was happy in his heart, and feared that the buddha would be thrown away and desecrated, and he bought it at the cost of 200 yuan.

the man who received the old goods was paid 150 yuan, and then made 50.

and that the bear would bring the buddha into his house, and bring out a piece of soft cloth to swirl, and then offer it to the buddha with humility, and pray every day.

one day, the foot paints of the bear saw the buddha's statue were stripped and its wood was black as carbon.

he was so sorry that he took out the cloth, from the head to the toe, even the buddha with the lian-seong, and wiped it.

by accident, the buddha fell on the ground.

the bear fell down on his knees, bowed to the ground, opened his eyes, and saw only that the lian throne under the buddha had fallen down, fell down, split into two with the buddha, and what was the golden sparkling in the buddha's belly? he was astonished that he could not even keep his mouth shut and was careful to pick up buddha statues, a “twilight” and a metal bar fell on the ground, and then, like a line, the “twilight” of the metal came to the ground.

ah, there's something hidden in the buddha's statue.

no wonder it's so heavy.

bear ben bound the buddha with the lotus seal and then looked at the metal, and looked at it, and, uh, the yellow ones were all gold and 30 pieces.

even if it were one or two, it would be 30 taels.

"oh, my god, i haven't seen so many gold bars in my life.

isn't that what the buddha gave me? no, no, the owner of the statue, since he had to sell it, seemed poorer than me.

he didn't know there was gold bars in the statue.

how could i swallow my conscience?" in that case, he decided to return it.

to find the owner, we have to start with the old man.

he'll collect the gold bars for nowOkay.

Since then, as soon as he had returned home, he had been at the door every day to see if the man who had taken the old goods had gone.

One day, he finally waited.

Before he got up, he grabbed him, and he said, "Hey, old man, where did you get that Buddha that you sold me last time?" The old man saw him screaming and he was so serious that he thought something was going on and he said, "Do me a favor, I didn't steal it, I bought it.

If you don't believe me, I can take you to ask." "I was going to take you." They both went 3 miles to a broken house in the Gulf of Mabu.

Out of the house was a gray-haired old man, bowed, old-fashioned.

"Are you the one who sold the old goods earlier?" The old man said, "Yes, it's the old man.

What's up?" "Well, since it's the same old man, it's none of your business." The owner of the old goods, who was afraid of causing trouble because of the buying and selling of the Buddha, was told to go first until he told him twice before he left.

Bear Ben invited the old man into the house and asked him what happened to the Buddha.

The old man's clothes are broken and dirty, but he speaks in a mean manner.

He said that “a man in Western County who worked under the command of an old man who had been put in a bad man's mouth and listened to him was removed from his post.

Then we'll have to go back home.

The old man was at home in the cold, so he ate breakfast and lunch.

So, on top of that, I had to sell one of my family's items for food.

Earlier, my daughter was sick, and in a hurry, he had to exchange money for this Buddha statue.

I know it's a sin, but it's just a shame.

He took out 30 gold bars in his arms, saying, “The justice is mistaken, not that I blame him, but that I have returned his money.” Says he'll find the gold before and after.

At first, the old man, Lok-Suk, was surprised, and when he finished, he said, “The actions of the master are admirable, but the poor and poor are poor and reason is clear.

The Buddha showed this gold as soon as he came to you.

It was destined to give you a fortune, not to give it to me.

Besides the fact that the Buddha has punished me, I can't take a word from him.

"You're wrong.

And the Buddha is yours, and the gold is in the belly of the Buddha.

Is it wrong that I should take it from him whom thou hast refused to accept? If I had to settle this, I'd have paid 200 yuan to buy the Buddha.

And Loksuke shook his hand, saying, “When I sell, the Buddha is not mine; and when your Lord buys the Buddha, it is yours.” He won't take it anyway." "I never took anything that wasn't mine." The reason I didn't tell youIf the matter of public gold is brought to your attention, it must be returned.

Or else, I'm a little obscurant." The two of you are fighting one word at a time, the bigger the voice.

The neighborhoods thought they had a fight.

They came all the way.

After listening, everyone admired the high moral character of both.

The chief said, "You two are as innocent as this, and that's not possible.

The lost gold is returned to its rightful owner.

It's just a rare quality, so why don't you give it back?” Rokusuke had a hard time shaving his head, half-twirling, and said in his red face: “Don't tell the boss that the old and the young are so destitute that they really have nothing.

Or I'll give him half of the gold." "Don't say that." Besides, we're going to have another fight." Lusuke smiled and said, "Let's laugh, we've sold everything out of our house, except for a big bowl of china, which was left behind by my ancestors, because it's not worth anything, because it won't take it, so leave it here so far, and ask bearmoto to take it." Bear Ben took the bowl: "It's, it's, it's best, thanks." As a result, two people were able to divide their hands in a warm and warm way in a round of praise。
