Adapted from Momotaro or Little Peachling
A long time ago, there lived an old man and an old woman. One day, the old man went to the mountains to cut grass, and the old woman went to the river to wash clothes. While she was washing, a great, big thing came tumbling and splashing down the stream. When the old woman saw it, she was ecstatic and pulled it to her with a piece of bamboo that lay nearby.
When she took it up and looked at it, she saw that it was a very large peach. She then quickly finished washing her clothes and returned home, intending to give the peach to her old man to eat.
When she cut the peach in two, out came a child from the large kernel. Seeing this, the old couple rejoiced, and named the child Momotaro, or Little Peachling, because he came out of a peach. As both the old people took good care of him, he grew and became strong and enterprising. So, the old couple had their expectations raised, and bestowed still more care on his education.
When Momotaro realized that he outdid everybody in strength, he decided to cross over to the island of the evil men, take their riches, and come back. He at once consulted with the old man and the old woman about the matter, and got them to make him some dumplings. These he put in his pouch. Besides this, he made every kind of preparation for his journey to the island and set out.
