“Rolling Rice Ball – Japanese Folk Tale” Once upon a time, an old couple lived happily together in a small village of Japan. Whenever the old man would go to collect the firewood, the old lady would cook and pack some yummy rice balls for him.
“Eat these rice balls whenever you get hungry,” used to say the lady. The old man walked towards the jungle and collected lots and lots of firewood that day. By lunch, he was getting hungry. He sat on this hill and opened his Tiffin; the smell of rice balls is very tempting. But, the moment he grabbed the first rice ball and took it closer to his mouth, it slipped out of his hand and it rolled down the hill. It jumped into a big hole.
