In ancient times in a village in Japan, there lived a poor peasant who had two sons. The traits of the two children are very different. The younger is named Kyusuke, an honest and diligent boy. His older brother, Kyutaro, was rough-tempered. He is not only lazy, but also likes to cheat and often do other things that are despicable. One night, Kyutaro took his parents' money and took it away.
His father was very sad to see the behavior of Kyutaro, whereas the savings were the result of mortgaging his land. The poor father was almost desperate, when his second son, Kyusuke, came to comfort him. "Do not worry about our future, Father.
Someday, I will replace it, "said his young son. Not long afterwards, for always thinking about his eldest son, the farmer's wife fell ill. Unable to bear the pain, he finally died. So the farmer took another woman to be his wife. The woman is a widow who has a daughter.
It's a pity that this new mother is unkind to Kyusuke. Thus life Kyusuke and his father worse than before. The treatment of Kyusuke's stepmother is increasingly unfavorable. Kyusuke tried to defend this situation by obeying all his parents' instructions. K
yusuke finally realized that he was unpopular and no longer needed in the house. He can not live peacefully in that house. Then, unbeknownst to the whole house, one night he left the house. He was determined to leave home to seek a better life experience. He promised someday to return home with the success of life.
"My dear dad, I left this house not because my father did not care or did not meet my needs. I am leaving for wanting to experience and gain a better life. "That was his message in a letter he left for his father. Kyusuke's father was deeply saddened by his son's departure. But in the end he also volunteered, for the future of his own son. Syandan after walking for days, Kyusuke arrived at a village called Tamamura. Because of his good and honest attitude, he was immediately accepted to work at the home of a village chief.
Kyusuke's fairy tale from Japan continues in a new place. In that place Kyusuke works as a gardener. He worked to sweat the sweat, from early morning until late at night. He had awakened when his friends were still asleep in sleep. Kyusuke works hard with his father's fun ideals.
At night, when his friends had rested, Kyusuke stopped working. There was just what he did to fill his time. When it is time to receive a reward, he takes only a small portion, while the rest he keeps to his master, until he will need it.
