A very wise old woman was in a certain village.  One day, an about 8-year-old boy who has said that he would like to borrow wisdom from her appeared.  When hearing the talk of him who is likely to begin to cry at any moment, he said that his parents said for No.1 to be strong in a village had been caught by the very strong monster.  An old woman who heard his talk went to the place where a monster is present with a boy.  The place was the cave on which the storm is blowing violently.  The monster was much larger than human, and the monster was carrying out the strong body.  What’s more it was a monster which fells various living things, and the monster boasts its power.  The monster said,”does a small old woman beat me?  Nobody can win me.”  She said,” Probably, you are stronger than I, but you are weaker than a storm, aren’t you?”  The monster which had it said by her had considered the contest of strength only as living things until now, so the monster was troubled by the answer.  She further said, “in fact, it is me that am manipulating this storm.  Then it is your victory if you can win this storm.”  The monster which heard it jumped into this storm.  Then the monster didn’t show a figure.  He rescued his parents at last.  He said to an old woman, “her wisdom is No.1 treasure of the world that can push down the monster.”  She said, “Since you would like to help your parents with the small body, your courage which went to that place with me is a treasure.  Your parents were not saved unless you act.  Therefore, you don’t lose any difficult things.”  From that, it is important to have the courage which act.
