children one night as they lay on the
floor with only a wooden pillow 20 rest
their nccks on. Not that they were
poor people, but that is the way all
people sleep in Japan. This is the
story she told the children before they
went TO sleep:
A long time ago there was a white
mouse called Tamara no Kanemo,hi,
who was a servant of Daikokutcn. the
japanese God of Wealth. This mouse
had a wife, and her-Rame was Onaga.
Both Kanemochi and lSfs~ wife were
very discreet. Never inf the daytime,
nor evepat night, did they venture into
the parlor or Kitchen; and so they lived
in quietude, free from danger of meet

Their only on, Fuk,ltaro, also was
of a gentle disposition. When he was
old enough to take a yhife, his parents
concluded to get lilm one, transfer
their property TO him and seek retire.
