\n
\n
“This is a story I heard in my childhood.
It was told to me by an old man named Mohei who lived in my village …”
<\/em><\/center>
\n
 

\n
\n
“… Then, he saw a human doing something in the middle of the stream.
Gon hid in the deep part of the grass
and quietly snuck up to look.”
<\/em><\/center>
\n
 

\n
\n
“… The eel made a squeaking sound and coiled around Gon’s neck. …”
<\/em><\/center>
\n
 

\n
\n
“About ten days went by. While Gon was passing behind the house of a farmer called Yasuke, he saw Yasuke’s wife blackening her teeth in the shadow of a fig tree.”
<\/em><\/center>
\n
 

\n
\n
“…’Who in the world threw sardines into my house?’ he mumbled.”
<\/em><\/center>
\n
 

\n
\n
“Gon hid and remained still by the side of the path.
The voices were coming closer to him. …”
