Tanuki Scroll XXXVII: ็”šๅ…ต่ก›(ใ˜ใ‚“ในใˆ)ใจใ‚ญใƒŽใ‚ณ :mushroom:

Read todayโ€™s folktale, from Fukui Prefecture!

About a man meeting a group of mushrooms that tell him they hate miso soup, he tells them he hates Koban (old coin of currency - ๅฐๅˆค). So, because heโ€™s mean, he pours miso soup on them the next day (poor little shroomies), they uproot themselves and run away.

Shroomy

That night the shrooms smash down his door (the word the story uses is: ่นดใ‘็ ดใ‚„ใถใ‚‹ - to kick down, so you know these guys mean business). They surround him and throw koban at him until the floor almost gives in.

He wakes in the morning a rich man and lives happily ever after.
