đ¸ The Story of Hanasaka Jiisan
（čąå˛ããããããŽčŠą）
đŠ 1. A Kind Old Man and His Dog
Once upon a time, in a small village in Japan, there lived a kind old man and his kind old wife.
They were poor, but they were happy.
They had no children, but they had a white dog named “Pochi”.
They loved “Pochi” like their own child.

đŠ 2. The Dog Finds Treasure
One day, “Pochi” barked and said, “Woof! Woof!”
He ran to a spot under a tree and started digging.
The old man followed him and dug the ground with a shovel.
Suddenly—clink!—he found gold coins in a box!
The kind couple was very surprised and happy.

đŠ 3. The Greedy Neighbor
Next door lived a greedy old man and his mean old wife.
They saw the treasure and became jealous.
They took “Pochi” and said, “Show us where more treasure is!”
But when they dug where Shiro barked, they found only garbage.
They became angry and—very sadly—they hurt poor “Pochi”.

đŠ 4. The Ashes of “Pochi”
The kind old man was very sad when “Pochi” died.
He made a small grave and cried every day.
One night, “Pochi” came to the old man in a dream.
He said, “Take my ashes and sprinkle them on a dead cherry tree.”

đŠ 5. The Cherry Tree Blooms
The next day, the old man took Pochi’s ashes to a dead cherry tree.
He sprinkled the ashes gently.
What do you think happened?
Suddenly, pink flowers started to bloom!
The tree was full of beautiful cherry blossoms.
Everyone in the village was amazed.

đŠ 6. The Lord Gives Praise
The lord of the land heard the story and came to see the tree.
He saw the flowers and said, “Amazing! This man is special!”
The kind old man was given gifts and honor.
But the greedy neighbor tried to copy him again.
He sprinkled ashes on another tree—but it did not work.
The ashes flew into the lord’s face!
The lord was angry and punished the greedy man.

đŠ 7. A Happy Ending
The kind old man and his wife lived happily.
They remembered “Pochi” and smiled whenever they saw cherry blossoms.
And every spring, the cherry trees bloomed beautifully—
These are the stories of an old man who made dead trees bloom.
