Once upon a time, there was a man named Taro.
Taro always has only pleasant dreams.
One day, Taro went to the mountains to cut grass.
However, he soon injured his finger.
Taro quit his job and took a nap leaning against the base of a tree.
Taro had a dream in which he was enjoying himself drinking alcohol.
He closed his eyes and chased after a woman.
When he grabbed the womans sash, I woke up.
There is a beautiful girl in front of him.
What Taro has is the girls feather coat.
She is a celestial maiden, and without her feathered robe, she cannot return to the heavens.
The girl said, If you return my down jacket, I will grant any wish you have.
Taro said, I want to be your husband.
And I want to rise up into the sky.
The girl said, Make a thousand bundles of grass and burn them.
Ride what grew out of the ashes and go to the sky.
Taro worked hard and made 999 bundles of grass.
After that, he set it on fire and burned it.
A large fern grew out of the ashes and began to lift Taro up into the sky.
When it gets closer to the sky, the fern tree stops growing.
Taro calls the celestial maiden.
However, the celestial maiden said, Those who do not keep their promises cannot ascend to heaven.
The fern tree kept getting shorter and shorter, and Taro ended up falling.
