An old woman lived during the ancient times in Japan. She always liked to laugh and make dumplings out of rice. One day, her dumpling rolled off the table to an earth crack. By following it, she was led to a road where there are many statues of gods. She was caught by a wicked one and he took her to the oni town. There they gave her a magic wooden paddle that multiplies the grains upon stirring so that the pot becomes full. She cooked for the oni for few months. When she got bored, she tried to escape, taking the paddle with her. She was in the middle of the lake when the oni frank all the water. The boat stopped and the woman stumbled on the muddy ground. Because she looked so funny, the oni cannot help but laugh. These made the water come out from their mouth back to the ground. The woman immediately climbed into the boat and escaped. Back to her home, she was made lots and lots of rice dumplings and sold them. She became very rich.
