Title: Momotarou part 2
Momotarou grew up to become a strong, helpful man. He helped the old couple do the chores and even cooked for them. One day, he heard of the ogres living in onigashima (Ogre Island) who were stealing people's treasure and wealth. Momotarou said to the old couple, 'I have made a decision, I will go to Onigashima and defeat the ogres. But first please make me 3 kibidango (rice cakes) for when I get hungry.' After a few hours, the old couple bid momotarou farewell and momotarou left for onigashima. On the way, he met a dog. The dog seemed very hungry. The dog asked momotarou if he can have one kibidango. Momotarou said,'Lets make a deal. If I give you a kibidango, would you be my companion to defeat the ogres?' The dog agreed and he became one of the companions of momotarou. Momotarou then met a peacock. THe peacock was also hungry so momotarou made the same deal to the peacock as he did with the dog so the peacock became the companion of momotarou too. Then the party came across a hungry monkey. Again Momotarou gave his last kibidango to the monkey and made the same deal that he did with the dog and the peacock. Finally, they reached the ocean. To get to Onigashima, the party would have to cross an ocean. They decided to create a raft that would carry them to Onigashima. WHen they reached Onigashima, they found the ogres eating the stolen food from the people. But the party was spotted by the ogres. They fought for 2 hours. In the end, Momotarou's party won since they had various fighting skills. The ogres were dropped into the ocean and they were never seen again. Momotarou returned to his home with all the trasures he got.
