Long, long ago there lived, in Japan a brave warrior known to all as Tawara Toda, or My Lord Bag of Rice. One day he sallied forth in search of adventures, for he had the nature of a warrior and could not bear to be idle. So he buckled on his two swords, took his huge bow, much taller than himself, in his hand, and slinging his quiver on his back started out.
