The fairytale Enchanted Waterfall is about a young woodcutter who lived with his mother and father. He worked diligently to increase his income. The young woodcutter did not have any wants, and was very easily pleased. His mother was always cheerful and contented, but his father was selfish. The young woodcutter wanted to help his parents. One day as the woodcutter was working on the wooded hills, he heard the sound of running water. He had worked in the same exact spot before, but there was no water. The water was smooth and clear. The young woodcutter bent down to taste the water, but when he did, he realized that it was sake. He filled up a container of the sake to give to his poor, old father. His father was overjoyed with his son's discovery. Neighbors began to find out about the body of water that was filled with sake. When the young woodcutter went to work at the same spot the next day, he saw his neighbors there before him. The neighbors tasted the substance from the stream, and it was water. They were outraged at their discovery. The young woodcutter hid behind a rock because he did not want the neighbors to see him. After the neighbors had left, the young woodcutter tasted the water again. It was the excellent sake that he had tasted the day before. The Emperor had found out about the good deeds the young woodcutter was doing for his father and rewarded him. This story is based on "Ko Wa Shimizu, " a legend that appeared in collections such as Kokon Chomonju, Profane Folktales and Jikkinsho, Folktales. Tales of water turning into milk are found in the Occident, and the tale had a familiar link to Mrs. T. H. James, who translated it into English. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.…
