The spirit of the dog asked the farmer to cut down the pine tree over its grave, and make from it a mortar for rice pastry
and a mill for bean sauce. The farmer did so. Some time close to the New Year, the farmer wanted to make some rice pastry. When
the rice was boiled, his wife put it into the mortar and he pounded the mass into dough. When the pastry was ready for baking, the
whole mass turned into a heap of gold coins. Similarly, when beans were ground in the hand-mill, gold started dropping from it like
rain and in a few minutes, the tub under the mill was filled with gold.
