Long, long ago,
in the land of my ancestors,

91
00:06:53,247 --> 00:06:55,791
there lived an old woodcutter
and his wife.

92
00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:58,753
They loved each other very much.

93
00:06:59,295 --> 00:07:02,465
Yet they were often sad,
for they had no children.

94
00:07:03,341 --> 00:07:04,342
But one day,

95
00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:06,761
the king of heaven smiled upon them,

96
00:07:07,136 --> 00:07:08,471
and sent a gift.

97
00:07:08,554 --> 00:07:11,265
As the old woman was washing
some clothes by the river,

98
00:07:11,807 --> 00:07:14,477
a huge peach came floating downstream.

99
00:07:15,645 --> 00:07:16,729
She took it home with her.

100
00:07:17,146 --> 00:07:19,899
And when her husband returned home
from chopping wood that evening,

101
00:07:20,441 --> 00:07:22,568
she presented the giant peach for supper.

102
00:07:23,653 --> 00:07:25,655
"I have never seen
such a marvelous fruit,"

103
00:07:25,738 --> 00:07:26,822
exclaimed the old man.

104
00:07:27,406 --> 00:07:28,783
"Let us taste it right away."

105
00:07:28,866 --> 00:07:30,785
But just before they could slice it,

106
00:07:31,202 --> 00:07:32,370
the peach popped open,

107
00:07:33,162 --> 00:07:36,165
and there stood a beautiful baby boy.

108
00:07:37,208 --> 00:07:39,293
The old couple were shocked,
to say the least.

109
00:07:39,502 --> 00:07:41,045
"Don't worry," said the boy.

110
00:07:41,587 --> 00:07:44,006
"I have been sent from heaven
to be your son."

111
00:07:44,340 --> 00:07:46,133
The couple were overjoyed,

112
00:07:46,342 --> 00:07:49,053
and named their new son Momotaro,

113
00:07:49,470 --> 00:07:51,222
which means "Peach Boy."

114
00:07:51,806 --> 00:07:53,724
They loved him with all their hearts,

115
00:07:53,975 --> 00:07:56,852
and Momotaro grew into a fine, strong boy.

116
00:07:58,729 --> 00:08:01,399
One day, Peach Boy went to his parents.

117
00:08:02,066 --> 00:08:03,943
"Mother, Father," he said.

118
00:08:04,527 --> 00:08:07,321
"You have been so kind to me.
I want to repay you."

119
00:08:07,571 --> 00:08:10,616
He told them he wanted
to travel to Ogre Island,

120
00:08:10,866 --> 00:08:14,912
and rid the country of the terrible ogres
that robbed and pillaged the land.

121
00:08:15,246 --> 00:08:17,873
The old couple worried
for Momotaro's safety,

122
00:08:17,957 --> 00:08:20,543
but they knew he was a special boy.

123
00:08:22,878 --> 00:08:24,213
Along his travels,

124
00:08:24,296 --> 00:08:27,883
Momotaro came across a hungry dog
who meant to bite him.

125
00:08:28,134 --> 00:08:32,138
But he gave the dog one of the dumplings
his mother had packed for him instead.

126
00:08:32,596 --> 00:08:35,641
"I am going to fight the ogres
on Ogre Island," said Momotaro.

127
00:08:35,933 --> 00:08:38,394
"Then, I will help you,"
said the grateful dog.

128
00:08:40,521 --> 00:08:44,442
Soon they met an angry monkey,
who threw sticks at them.

129
00:08:44,525 --> 00:08:46,694
Momotaro threw a dumpling
back at the monkey.

130
00:08:47,153 --> 00:08:49,572
The monkey's mood quickly changed.

131
00:08:50,031 --> 00:08:51,782
And when he learned
of where they were going,

132
00:08:52,324 --> 00:08:54,869
the monkey vowed to help them
fight the ogres, too.

133
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:01,542
As the three left the forest,
they met a vigilant pheasant.

134
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,421
The pheasant turned out
to be fond of dumplings,

135
00:09:05,755 --> 00:09:07,715
but not fond of ogres at all,

136
00:09:08,591 --> 00:09:11,177
and decided to join Momotaro
on his mission.

137
00:09:13,262 --> 00:09:15,347
When the band of adventurers
reached the sea,

138
00:09:15,723 --> 00:09:17,933
they went to work building a boat,

139
00:09:18,267 --> 00:09:21,604
and soon set sail for Ogre Island.

140
00:09:22,063 --> 00:09:24,190
Momotaro and his friends came ashore,

141
00:09:24,273 --> 00:09:26,692
and found an ominous fortress,

142
00:09:27,318 --> 00:09:30,154
full of terrible ogres of all kinds.

143
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,496
The gate was well-guarded,
but Peach Boy devised a plan.

144
00:09:38,788 --> 00:09:41,707
Pheasant flew over the walls
and attacked the guards.

145
00:09:42,208 --> 00:09:43,667
The ogres swung at him,

146
00:09:43,751 --> 00:09:46,128
but the quick pheasant dodged their blows.

147
00:09:46,337 --> 00:09:47,713
With the guards distracted,

148
00:09:48,089 --> 00:09:51,050
Monkey climbed the wall
and unlocked the gate,

149
00:09:51,133 --> 00:09:53,969
so that Momotaro
and spotted dog could charge in,

150
00:09:54,053 --> 00:09:55,930
and take the ogres by surprise.

151
00:09:56,097 --> 00:09:58,599
It was a terrible battle.

152
00:09:58,766 --> 00:10:00,351
Pheasant pecked the ogres' heads.

153
00:10:01,268 --> 00:10:02,603
Dog bit at them.

154
00:10:02,895 --> 00:10:04,688
Monkey clawed their faces.

155
00:10:05,231 --> 00:10:08,359
And Momotaro swung at them
with his father's ax.

156
00:10:08,567 --> 00:10:11,445
At last, the ogres surrendered.

157
00:10:12,029 --> 00:10:14,406
They bowed before Momotaro in defeat,

158
00:10:14,490 --> 00:10:17,409
and gave him all the treasure
they had stolen,

159
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,704
promising to never do wicked deeds again.

160
00:10:21,956 --> 00:10:24,542
The four friends heaped
the treasure onto their boat,

161
00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:28,754
and sailed home to give it back
to the people of Peach Boy's land.

to see their son return safely.
