The tengu and the Gambler

There was a gambler and a tengu. The tengu asked the gambler what he is most afraid of.The gambler lied and said he was most afraid of gold or mochi. The Tengu responded truthfully. The tengu was afraid of a sort of plant. The tengu thinking he himself is playing a cruel trick and makes money or rice cake rain on the gambler. The gambler is happy and proceeds his scare of gold or mochi in front of the tengu. The tengu left leaving a gourd behind with the gambler.

The tengu's Lesson: There was a young boy living in Japanese village. The village had tengu everywhere playing harmless tricks on everyone in the village. They can turn invisible by using magic cloaks. Everyone in the village respected the tengu and be careful  not to upset them. The young boys mother warned him to not play tricks on the tengu. He promised his mother. He kept his promise for a very long time until one day he had an amazing plan. He had got a bamboo stick and started to look in it pretending he could see the heavens. There was a tengu looking at him. “Wow, Amazing” said the boy “What do you see” replied the tengu. The said he sees the heavens. “I want to see the heavens” said tengu. So the boy and the tengu had a deal the tengu gave the boy the magical cloak which makes him invisible and for the bamboo stick. The boy has been playing tricks and anyone and when his mother calls him he pretends he isn’t there. The boy went to the river with his friends. The tengu found that he had been fooled and got some other tengu and they found the boy and started to push him making him stumble. The boys friends laughed and they never saw anything because the tengu was invisible. “Hahaha, your face is as red as a tengu” said one of the boys friends.
