Once upon a time in Japan, there lived in the country an old man and his wife. They were very lonely because they had no children.
One day the old man went into the mountains to cut firewood and his wife went to the river to wash clothes.
No sooner had the old woman begun her washing than she was very surprised to see a big peach floating down the river. It was a huge peach. The biggest she had ever seen. She pulled the peach out of the river and took it home to give her husband for supper.
Late in the afternoon the old man came home, and the old woman said to him: "Look what a wonderful peach I found for your supper." The old man said it was truly a beautiful peach. He was so hungry that he said: "Let's divide it and eat it."
So the old woman brought a big knife from the kitchen and was getting ready to cut the peach in half. But just then there was the sound of a human voice from inside the peach. "Wait! Don't cut me!" said the voice. Suddenly the peach split open, and a beautiful baby boy jumped out.
The Three Little Pigs
Once upon a time there were three little pigs. One morning, the mother pig said, "You must go into the world and make your own way." So the three little pigs set out into the world.
The first little pig met a man carrying a bundle of straw and said, "Please may I have some of your straw to build a house with?" The man gave him some straw and the little pig built himself a fine straw house to live in. Soon, a hungry wolf came along. He knocked at the door and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." "No, no, by the hair of my chinny chin chin. I won't let you in." "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in." So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house in and ate up the first little pig.
The second little pig met a man with a bundle of sticks. "Please may I have some of your sticks to build a house with?" The man gave him some sticks and the little pig built himself a fine stick house to live in. Soon, a hungry wolf came along. He knocked at the door and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." "No, no, by the hair of my chinny chin chin. I won't let you in." "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in." So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house in and ate up the second little pig.
