Asakichi and his wife save the thunder when it falls from heaven. A rough country girl who doesn't know how to be polite says "o" in front of everything because her mom tells her to. A young, hardworking girl is to be adopted by her master, but his jealous wife makes her quit while the master is away.
When he was born, his cries were 
loud enough to shake back the rain.
El primer vagido se escuchó 
más fuerte que los truenos.
Y el primer llanto del bebé se 
escuchó más fuerte que los truenos.
Quando ele nasceu, seu choro era
tão alto que fez a chuva tremer.
