A man finds an expensive bowl being used as a cat dish and schemes to get it.  A lazy man is sent to the capital to work.  A monkey and a toad go to Ise, but the monkey does all the work.
Tarou was too lazy to turn them down, 
so he had to go to the capital.

Como no tenía alternativa y 
le daba pereza rechazarlos,
Taro era preguiçoso demais para recusar,
então ele foi para a capital.
