Momotaro The Peach Boy

A long time ago, in a small village in Japan, there lived an
elderly childless couple. One day, while the old woman was washing
clothes, a giant peach floated down the river. She took the peach
home. The old woman showed the peach to her husband and placed it
against the wall. Suddenly, the peach started moving. They were
surprised to see a baby coming out of the peach. They decided to
name him Momotaro which meant Peach Boy. Momotaro grew up to
be a very strong and brave boy. One evening, an evil ogre stole the
villagers belongings and destroyed most houses in the village.
Nobody dared to stop the ogre. After it left, Momotaro asked for
permission from his parents to fight the ogre. Momotaros mother
was worried for him, but she knew she had to let him go. For the
long journey, she prepared him dango to give him strength.
Momotaro made his way towards the ogres island with his dango. He
was determined to defeat the ogre. On the way, Momotaro met a
dog, a monkey and a pheasant. They told him that they wanted to
help him fight the ogre. So Momotaro gave them a dango each. They
got on a boat and sailed towards the island. When they landed,
Momotaro and his friends saw the ogre sleeping. They fought the
ogre.
