昔、今の東京都のあたりに、底がない沼がある村がありました。
Once upon a time, in an area that is now Tokyo, there was a village with a bottomless swamp.
。
The villagers live in peace.
。
One day, the earth shook violently, and with a loud noise, heavy rain poured down.
。
The villagers fields were damaged, and all the fish in the pond died.
。
After that, the sound from the ground and the heavy rain occurred repeatedly.
。
The villagers were very frightened.
。
One day, a monk passed through the village and said, The water god is angry.
。
In order not to anger the gods, the villagers decided to offer a young girl to the pond.
。
There was a young woman named Osayo in the village.
。
Osayo has no family left and lives alone, growing eggplants in her field.
。
The villagers came to Osayos rice field.
。
At that moment, the ground shook violently again, and heavy rain poured down once more.
。
Water overflowed from the swamp and swallowed Osayo.
。
After that, the marsh became quiet.
。
When the villagers felt at ease, Osayo washed ashore once again.
。
When everyone was still surprised, the god of the lake appeared.
。
God said, When I was suffering from illness, I ate Osayos eggplants and recovered.
。
From now on, I will do my best for this village.
。
The villagers are very happy.
。
They built a temple to enshrine their god.
。
During the festival, they always offer eggplants to the gods.
