Story and Synopsis of "The Return of the Crane

One cold winter day, an old man finds a suffering crane trapped in the mountains.

Grandpa rescued the crane and freed it from the trap.

That night, a beautiful daughter visits Grandpa and Grandma at their home.

My daughter said she was lost and in trouble.

Grandfather and grandmother decide to let their beautiful daughter stay the night.

The daughter said, "I want to return the favor, so please let me weave fabric.

The daughter then made a promise to her grandfather and grandmother that they would never see her weaving.

My daughter stayed in her room and made up the textiles.

The finished fabrics were extremely beautiful and expensive.

The daughter continues weaving, but her grandfather and grandmother are worried about her and sneak a peek at her weaving.

Then, there was a crane that I had saved earlier, pulling out its own feathers to make a weave.

The crane says, "I broke my promise, so I can't stay here anymore," and reverts back to his crane form.

Then they flew away high into the sky.
