 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. Momotaro’s 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 ogre’s 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.
