Once upon a time, on an evening before the house was to be rebuilt,
the grandparents were in the back room and the children were eating dinner there.
The parents were working near the fire place.
Nearby was 慈眼寺 the Temple Chigan-Ji with a great tree in the compound.
The parents heard the sound of the great tree falling down.
They got terribly afraid and rushed to the back room but there nobody had heard anything.
A tanuki had come to the back of the hearth and used its tail to hit the pillars and the floor.
