Once upon a time, there was a woodcutter called Taro. One day, when he was passing by a bridge, he heard a painful bird’s cry. Taro looked up and saw a wounded white crane falling down from the sky onto the other side of the bridge. Taro went to look at the wounded crane. The crane’s wound was very deep and was dying. Taro took the white crane home, hoping he could cure it. Very soon, they came upon Taro’s house Taro laid down the crane and pondered on how to cure it. Seeing the crane in so much pain, he gave the crane water to drink. Under his loving attention, the crane got well at last. Vary often, the crane would fly around taro’s head and make him really happy. But suddenly, the crane flew away. When it came back, it gave Taro a bean. When Taro took the bean and the crane flew away and never came back. Taro didn’t know what to do with the bean, unconsciously; Taro came to the bridge again. All of a sudden, a very beautiful girl appeared before him. The 16 year old girl soon married Taro. So Taro and Sakurako married and lived very happily. As for the bean, it turned out to be a cocoa bean. Sakurako taught Taro to make delicious chocolate with the beans. Later, they sold the chocolates which became very popular. Taro started to make a good living, and they were very happy. Even so, they still went out to cut wood everyday. But the happiness didn’t last. One day, the lightning struck Taro and he fainted. When he woke up, his beloved Sakurako was no longer there. Later, the chocolates that Taro ad Sakurako sell was named, The Sakura’s Lovers Chocolate..
