There once was a poor woodcutter who lived with his mother.
One day, he helped a wounded deer escape from hunters.



As a show of gratitude, the deer informed the woodcutter of
a nearby pond where fairies came down from the heavens to
bathe every month. The deer pointed out that the woodcutter
would be able to marry one of the fairies by hiding the fairy’s
winged clothing—her only means of flight.



He could then come to the rescue of the stranded fairy.
The only proviso: everything was to be kept secret from
his wife until they had at least three children. With these
instructions, the woodcutter was successful in taking a
fairy as his wife, and they had two children together.



Content and happy, the woodcutter now felt comfortable
enough to prematurely come clean. He showed his wife
the winged clothing. Upon seeing her wings again,
the wife could not help but feel a pang of yearning for home.



She decides to return to the heavens, taking the children with her.



With this unexpected turn of events, the woodcutter was highly
distraught and once again turned to the help of the deer.
This time, the resourceful deer presented the woodcutter with magic
beans that would allow him to reach the heavens by way of a very long
beanstalk. The overjoyed woodcutter reunited with his wife and triumphantly
passed a series of tests that were required of all mortals who wished to live
in the heavens. As time went by, the woodcutter began to worry about his
mother, whom he had left behind on earth.



The wife, who understood the woodcutter’s feelings, provided him with
a winged horse that would safely take him down to earth and back.
The wife also warned the woodcutter never to get off the horse at any point.
During the trip, however, the woodcutter spilled his mother’s hot porridge on
the horse’s back, and as the startled horse reared up on its legs, he was knocked off its back.



The winged horse flew back to the heavens, leaving the hapless woodcutter behind.
The woodcutter was never to return to the heavens again.



Sad and alone, he later turned into a rooster that crows its grief to the skies.
