The daimio rewarded the farmer for making an old withered cherry tree blossom once again. Like the farmer, his greedy neighbour
also sprinkled ashes over a withered cherry tree. However, the result this time was different. The tree did not blossom, while the
wind blew the dust into the noses and eyes of the daimio and his wife. This was the reason why the greedy neighbour was
punished.
