Tanuki Scroll II: ๆฉ็ฅใใ 
Read todayโs folktale, from Kyoto prefecture!
About a man who gets lost in the snow and is surely to freeze to death, a bear comes along and he prepares for a higher degree of certain death, but to his surprise the bear leads him back to its burrow where itโs super cosy and warm. He goes to sleep on the bear for four days. 
Then when he gets back to the village, because he is an ungrateful sod, he takes a hunter to where the bear isโฆ how could you?? 
But itโs okay because ใใพใใ catches on and rips the ungrateful man in half and all is well again.

ๆฉ็ฅใใใใใใใใใใผ Ungrateful
ๅใใใใใใใใใผ To freeze (your body); to become numb. Similar to ๅใ ใใใใใ, but ใใใใ has the nuance of it being you (or someoneโs body) that is the thing being frozen. Here in the story it was part of: ๅใๆญปใซ ใใใใใใซใใผ which means to freeze to death.
Word that is there to be confusing
ๆญขใพใ โฆeasy enough, means to stop moving, or to come to a stop. ใจ-ใพ-ใ.
But it can also be ๆญขใพใ - which means to remain (somewhere), to stay, but this is read ใจใฉใพใ. And it can also be written like: ็ใพใ (which is the first kanji suggestion to pop up when you write ใจใฉใพใ, well at least on mine it is.), ๅใพใ or ้งใพใโฆ but then, plain old ใจใพใ can also be written like these. Best to just write it in kana, like it is here in the story.
