Tale 11 — The strife between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, and Magoshiro's violence
From discord between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law, the son Magoshiro sharpened a great sickle meaning to kill his mother, shut all the doors of the house, and drove her into a corner and cut at her. The mother let out the same cry that had once been heard deep in the mountains, and the villagers and a policeman came running and seized Magoshiro. It is said the mother bore no grudge and wished that Magoshiro be pardoned.
