The lord of a poor province is sad to see how weak his sumo wrestlers are for this year's tournament, but they all defeat even the strongest wrestlers. A fava bean, a piece of straw, and a piece of charcoal all bounce out of an old woman's kitchen and decide to visit Ise. There are two men who live on the east and west side of town, and each night they come to a bar to drink.  They always drink the same drink, and insult each other.
One lived on the east side of the 
village, surrounded by elms.
Un hombre vivía en una casa 
en dirección este, la cual tenía un olmo cerca,
Uno de los hombres vivía 
al este, al lado de un olmo,
Um vivia no lado leste do 
vilarejo, cercado de olmos.
