not many days, old women have a baby of the size of a finger.

the couple, though a bit surprised, were pleased that they were deeply convinced that this was the child of god whom they had given them, and that they had raised him very seriously because he had only the size of his finger and named him a one-inch wizard.

this little doll can't grow up no matter how much he eats.

the children nearby looked at him as small and used to tease him.

although he was angry, there was nothing he could do.

when one inch of the wizard was 16, one day the magician told his father and wife, "i decided to go to kyoto and hope i could do something, and when i did, i'll come home and see you." the old couple was opposed at first, but the one-in-one magician insisted and finally agreed and prepared some luggage for him.

the next morning, an inch of the masters used the bar as a straw, a needle as a knife, everything was ready and said goodbye to the old couple.

the one-in-an-in-one wizard is small, but he's very ambitious, and he's always headed for the capital with great ideals.

but he's walking, walking, lost in the field.

which way is the capital's road? one inch of the master went down and said to an ant, "please tell me which way is the city's road?" the small ant replied with enthusiasm: "first, you go through a village full of plumes, where you can see a river not far, and follow it downstream, and you can go to the capital." one inch of the wizard followed the path of the ants, and finally saw the plumes of the mountains.

he went a little further before he heard the water flow.

one inch of the ants said he saw the river, took the hat made out of the bowl over his head, and took it as a boat and took it.

and follow the river and go downstream.

the boat drifted for a long time to the junction, an inch of the wizard wondered whether to go to the left or to the right and asked the way to a butterfly: “what direction is the way to the capital?” butterfly pointed to the answer: “if you go down to the right, you will soon reach the capital.” the final inch of the wizard arrived in the capital as he wished.

he walked away for a while, saw a great house and went there.

so this is the minister's residence, and one inch of the master asked the minister to hire him, but because he was too small, the minister and his men only heardThe voice of one inch of the Master's speech was not visible and it took a lot of effort to notice his people.

The minister wondered, what could be done if he was as small as you? An inch of the magician answered with confidence: "Don't underestimate me, I can hide in the arms of the master!" The words were just finished, and a bee flew in, tried to attack him, and an inch of the wizard pulled out a sword between his waist, and immediately stabbed the bee.

The Minister was happy to see it and left him to work at the residence.

As a result of his hard work and carelessness, the residents of the residence were very fond of the one-inch wizard.

The Minister left an inch of the Master with Princess Chun Ji to protect the Princess.

The princess was very fond of one inch of the magicians and often taught him to read and write.

In addition to studying, one inch of the wizards practice swords very carefully every day.

Princess Chun Ji admires him, and suddenly he likes one inch.

One day, Princess Chun Ji decided to go to the Qing Shui Temple.

Unfortunately, at this time, the city is in a state of disquiet, and people say that monsters often come out and rob young and beautiful girls.

Having listened to the concerns, the Minister chose from among his many family members strong warriors to follow the princess.

And one inch of the wizards didn't show weakness, and he said, "I'll go too! I'm also an entourage." That's it.

They left early in the morning for the Temple.

Upon completion of the visit, on the way back, there was suddenly an evil wind and the sky was darkened.

In the middle of the wind, there were the Kober Red Ghost and the Blue Ghost and a couple of little demons, and the Red Ghost roared, "This beautiful girl, I'm going to make a decision!" At a time when so many of the family members didn't use it, and all their legs were soft.

There was only one inch of the wizard who drank with courage: "Wait, I'm here!" The Red Ghost didn't see a very small inch of the wizard, and when he found an inch of the wizard, he laughed and didn't even look at him.

One inch of the Master's sword was drawn between his waist and stabbed the Red Ghost.

The Red Ghost grabbed an inch of the Master and swallowed him。
