Tale 15 — Okunai-sama's miracle at rice planting
The Abe family, short of hands for rice planting, was in trouble when an unknown boy appeared and helped, finishing the rice planting by dusk. The boy vanished, but muddy footprints continued along the veranda to the shelf of Okunai-sama, a household god, and the lower half of the sacred image was covered in mud from the fields.
