On New Year's Eve, a poor couple struggles to bring in the new year.  A woman is told not to let the fire go out on New Year's Eve, but...  Minokichi and Mokichi take shelter from the blizzard, when a mysterious woman appears before them.
The rain earlier that night had 
soaked the fire starting stone.
El pedernal estaba mojado por 
la lluvia de la madrugada.
El pedernal estaba mojado 
por el rocío de madrugada.
A chuva mais cedo tinha molhado
a pedra de começar o fogo.
