The Bamboo Princess
 |
The story of the Japanese Fairy Tale, “The Bamboo Princess”, dates back around 1,000 years ago. A very old bamboo cutter and his wife were childless. One day the bamboo cutter was hard at workwhen he noticed a golden light shining from inside one of the bamboo. He carefully cut it open and to his surprise he found inside a small baby girl – only as big as his thumb. He excitedly hurried home with the baby girl to show his wife. They were afraid to leave the baby alone, so they raised her as their own child and named her Bamboo Princess. Many years past by and Bamboo Princess grew into a very beautiful young lady. Princes from all over the land came and wanted to marry Bamboo Princess. Being older, Bamboo Princess knew that she could not marry and that she would only be on earth for a short time longer only long enough to care for the old bamboo cutter and his wife. Bamboo Princess knew that when the next full moon appeared, it would be time to leave and return back to the moon where she came from. The bamboo cutter and his wife were so sad to know the Bamboo Princess would leave them, but they were so greatful that she came to be with them and that she brought such happiness and good fortune. The old bamboo cutter and his wife would smile everytime they looked up at the night sky and saw a full moon. |
