Taro urajima

Once upon a time, there lived a fisherman named Taro Urashima. This Yasushima Taro rowed out to sea every day and made a living by fishing. Taro's life was originally poor, but this young man not only likes fantasy, but also has a kind heart. He stood on the shore, looked at the sea and thought, "If only he could become a fish!" " So he prefers this fantasy to fishing. How wonderful it would be if the dream really came true. Taro fantasizes all the time and looks forward to it wholeheartedly. One day, such a thing happened. Taro came back from the sea and walked to the seaside, just in time for a group of children screaming. Looking down, it turned out that they had caught a little turtle and teased it. "This help a boy! Stop it! Do you think bullies are dumb animals? " Taro saved the little turtle and put it back into the sea. "I wish you a safe journey. Be careful in the future and don't let others catch you again. " Kind Taro, standing by the sea, stared at the direction where the little turtle swam for a long time. A few years later, another thing happened. One day, Taro fished leisurely as usual. "If only I could become a seagull!" Taro is dreaming again. After much deliberation, the tortoise that Taro saved came from there. "taro, saving his life, I can't repay you enough. I want to take you to the beautiful Crystal Palace under the sea. Crystal official, the so-called Dragon Palace, is really a good place, surrounded by beautiful sea garlands. Oh, come on, please ride on my back. " The tortoise carried the taro on his back and plunged into the sea. "Oh!" Seeing the beautiful underwater world, Taro was shocked. Here, as Taro imagined, it is infinitely beautiful and infinitely vast. It's here, it's there ... sea flowers are everywhere. The flowers on the sea are in full bloom, beautiful and fragrant. "how about it? Isn't that great? " Taro was intoxicated, and the tortoise looked proud. Taro really feels like he is in a dream. After a while, Taro came to the sparkling coral courtyard. It's colorful here. See things in a blur. This ... this is a beautiful place! "Look around, aso couldn't help shouting. At this time, the coral island moved gently, revealing a pearl step. At the top, stands a beautiful princess-the goddess of Longguan City. Taro was stunned. "Welcome, taro! We are very grateful to you for saving the tortoise. Don't be busy, please stay here for a few more days. "The beautiful goddess thanked him personally, which made Jotaro fidgety. The goddess suddenly shook her fan, and colorful fish swam in droves and danced around taro. In this way, Taro lived well every day in the Dragon Palace. Eating delicious seafood, the dance of fish is so beautiful, and there is a gentle goddess ... For Taro, this is really a dream-like life. But good dreams don't last. "What is our village like now? ""is mom healthy? " Aso unconsciously thought of home. So, everything around me is boring. "Taro, you want to go back! Seeing that Taro was preoccupied all day, the goddess reluctantly said, "As long as you want to stay, I will be happy. "But there is no way." "Well, this treasure chest, as a gift, for you. When you are in trouble, you open it. " Taro finally decided to ride a turtle and return to his hometown he missed. "Princess, goodbye! Thank you, thank you! " On the way, anxious to return's Taro's heart was filled with his hometown which he had not seen for several days. "Thank you, turtle friend." When he came back, Taro was very happy: flowers were blooming all over the mountain and new clothes were put on everywhere in his hometown. However, all is not well. A closer look reveals that the village is beyond recognition. I can't find my home; Mom, no; Not only that, acquaintances, all gone. Taro's heart is half cold, and he doesn't know what to do. Then he remembered the treasure chest given by the goddess. "That's right! Open it and you may understand everything. " Taro thought of this and opened the treasure chest in fear. Suddenly ... Oh, strange? How to get out of the treasure chest, glug, a big white wedding emerged. Then, in a blink of an eye, Kitajima Taro became an old man with a white beard. That's it. Taro lived happily in the Dragon Palace for several days, while at the same time, he spent hundreds of years on the ground. One is the beautiful underwater world, and the other is the present earthly world, which is a dream, and Taro can't explain it clearly.
