No. 33 — Ano-sama
A child named Taro, who served Ano-sama of Wayama, blew stolen rice onto a pine tree to make it look as though a hawk had nested there, and deceived the master into climbing it. He took away the ladder and falsely told him that the mansion was on fire, then announced that the master had fallen from the pine and died, and forced the unwilling mistress to shave her head and become a nun.
