on the family farm. His grandfather became tired of feeding such a useless man and sent him

away to the city.

“Learn to become a warrior(武士),”he told his grandson.“Then perhaps you will grow

into a man of normal height.”

river, his mother gave him two long grains of rice to use as oars and his father gave him a pin to

use as a sword.

clever, he at last reached the city safely.

from a powerful giant.

and eat him, but Issumboshi was so small and quick that the giant could not get hold of him.

Issumboshi struck again and again at the giant with his sword. Before long, the giant fell to

the ground and died from a thousand wounds.

“Oh, what a great warrior he is!”the people of the city shouted as they came out of their houses.“What a great hero this young man is!”Hearing this, Issumboshi felt so proud that he
