A fallen lord sacrifices his prized possessions for a traveling monk.  A princess is found in a stalk of bamboo.  A priest tricks a fox, and finds himself confronted by the lost souls of hell.
Once upon a time,
 there was an old couple.
Érase una vez hace mucho 
tiempo, un abuelo y una abuela.
Hace mucho, mucho tiempo, en algún 
lugar, había una pareja de ancianos.
Era uma vez, em um certo 
lugar, um casal de idosos.
