Once upon a time, there lived a young man. One day, when he was working on his farm, a white crane fell to the farm. The man found it was injured and took good care of it. Soon, the crane became well and flew away.
Later, one day, a beautiful young girl came to the young man’s house. “I will be your wife,” said the girl. The young man was surprised and happy. Then the two began a happy life.
One day, the wife asked the young man to build her a weaving room. When it was finished, she said, “You must never look inside when I am working in it.” Then she went into the room. The young man waited outside. After seven days, the wife came out of the room and gave him some beautiful cloth. “Sell it tomorrow,” she said. The next day, the young man sold it. He got money and was very happy.

The wife went into the weaving room again. The young man wanted to see what she was doing, so he looked into the room. He found a crane was weaving! The crane then found he was looking and said, “You helped me many days ago. I wanted to do something for you. So I became your wife. But since you have known what I am, I can’t stay here any longer.” Then the crane flew away and never came back.
