ISSUMBOSHIOnce upon a time there was an old couple

who didn’t have a child. They lived in a small

house near the village forest. “Please give us a

child,” they asked God everyday.

One day, from the household Shinto altar,

they heard a cute cry, “Waa! Waa!”

They looked and saw a crying baby who looked just like a little finger.

“This child must be a gift from God. Thanks to God!”

“We will call this child ‘Issumboshi’,” they said.

They raised Issumboshi with much care, but Issumboshi never grew bigger.

“Hey, Issumboshi, do you want to be eaten by a frog?” Issumboshi was always

being bullied by the children of the village and often went home feeling unhappy.

Grandmother would make some big rice balls and encourage him. “Eat a lot,

and grow up quickly,” Grandmother said.One day, Issumboshi said, “I will go to the capital to study and become a

respectable person. Then I will come back.” Grandfather and Grandmother were

worried about him, but Issumboshi’s mind would not be changed. At once they

began to prepare for his trip.

Issumboshi sheathed a needle sword in a straw case, put on a cup for a

sedge hat, and started out with a chopstick staff, in high spirits.

“I’m going now,” Issumboshi said.

“Is he safe? With such a small body?” Grandfather and Grandmother asked

as they saw him off.

Issumboshi went on the trip with a big wish in a small body.

… … …

At last Issumboshi reached the capital city and anchored under the bridge.

Then he climbed up to the railing and viewed the town.

“There is a fine palace over there. I shall ask them at

once.” At long last Issumboshi arrived at the palace.

“Excuse me, but I want to meet the feudal lord.”

The lord came to the door, “What? Who’s

there?” “Here I am, at your feet.”

“Oh. How small! Why do you want to meet

me?” “Please let me be your retainer.”

“I wonder if your very small body can do anything.”

“I’ll stay in your pocket and guard you from all harm.” When Issumboshi

said so, a bee came buzzing by. “Yhaa!” Issumboshi yelled, stabbing the bee.

“Bravo! I employ you. It would be good if you became the Princess’s man.”

“Oh! What a cute fellow he

is!” said the Princess, putting

Issumboshi on her palm.

“I will defend you upon my life,” said

Issumboshi.

The Princess liked Issumboshi,

and she taught him reading, writing,

and various studies. Further,

Issumboshi practiced fencing very hard

in order to be strong.

One day the Princess went out to

worship at the Kiyomizu Temple.

Suddenly there was a strong wind, and some demons appeared. The leader of

the demons tried to grab the Princess. “Help me!” she screamed. Issumboshi

tried to help her, but the demon caught him and threw him into his mouth.

Issumboshi, who was swallowed, jabbed and jabbed the demon’s stomach. The

demon rolled over and spat out Issumboshi.

Issumboshi jumped at the demon and stabbed his eyes. The remaining

demons were frightened. They ran away in great haste, but one demon, who was

left behind, trembled while holding the magic hammer.

“Do you want me to stab your eyes, too?” Issumboshi asked.

“Please, don’t. This is the magic hammer that will grant you a wish. I give

it to you, so please spare me.” And saying this, he ran off in a hurry.“Thank you, Issumboshi. You have saved my life,” the Princess said.

“Princess, please wave this magic hammer and make a wish that I may

become big,” said Issumboshi. The Princess waved it and asked, “May

Issumboshi become big!”

And then, strangely, before her eyes, Issumboshi began to grow. He grew

into a nice young man. They went back to the palace, and the Princess asked the

King to let her marry Issumboshi.

SIMPLE PAST TENSE

Look at the excerpt from the text below. Pay attention to the words in the bold

type and italic.

A long time ago, in a small village near the beach in West Sumatra lived a

woman and her son, Malin Kundang. Malin Kundang and his mother had to live

hard because his father had passed away when he was a baby.

One day, when Malin Kundang was sailing, he saw a merchant’s ship being

raided by a band of pirates. With his bravery, Malin Kundang helped the merchant

defeat the pirates. To thank him, the merchant allowed Malin Kundang to sail

with him. Malin Kundang agreed and left his mother alone.

Many years later, Malin Kundang became wealthy. When he was sailing on

his trading journey, his ship landed on a coast near a small village. The local

people recognized that it was Malin Kundang.

Malin Kundang’s mother ran to the beach to meet the new rich merchant. She

wanted to hug him to release her sadness of being lonely after a long time. When

his mother came near him, Malin Kundang who was with his beautiful wife and

his ship crews denied that she was his mother. After that he ordered his crews to

set sail to leave the old woman who was then full of sadness and anger. Finally,

she cursed Malin Kundang and he was thrown out to a small island and turned

into a stone.
