Brothers Not Alike 63 54. The Three Brothers Each of three sons was given 100 ryo and sent out for three years to see who could lay up the most in his storehouse. The one who had things of the most value would inherit his father's wealth. The youngest set out for Kyoto and bought all kinds of silk. The middle son started to trade in rice and stored lots of it. The oldest set out for wherever his feet took him. He came to the Kannon temple at Kurokawa. The building was so dilapidated that he wanted to repair it and he put new thatch on it. The same for Gongen by the gate. But people who came to worship were put to great trouble because there was no bridge there, so he hired carpenters and put up a bridge, and spent all the ·money he had received. After the bridge was built, the man was pleased to see worshippers come flocking. He spent the night at the temple and had a dream. He dreamed he had gotten a fishing pole, and when he woke up, there was one by his pillow. He kept it and spent the next night at Gongen. He received a fan there that would restore youth and a tin flask of sacred wine. He decided to try his fishing pole from the new bridge he had had made. He caught a little bag, and when he shook it against the railing, money came jingling out. At home his wife was worrying because his storehouse would be examined on the next day, but he came along and told her not to worry. He took out his tin flask and poured her some wine. No matter how much he poured, it did not give out. He went to his storehouse and began to shake the little bag until he filled the place with money. The next day he served his relatives wine from the flask that would not run dry. Because his storehouse was filled with money, of course the oldest son inherited his father's wealth. He took out the fan that restored youth and used it on his mother and his wife. His mother wanted to become still younger and got out the fan when her son was away. She made herself too young and turned into a baby crawling around the place. Iwate, Shiwa-gun Aomori: Tsugaru m 32, "Blear-eyes, Scabby, and Louse-bitten" (Mekusare Ganbe, Shiramitagare no hanashi). Hachinohe: MK II 4 47 (Sannin kyodai) Two stories. Iwate, Kamihei-gun: Roo 12, "A thousand ryo to see a girl" Ochimoku sen ryo no hanashi). Two stories seem to have been combined. Shiwa-gun: Shiwa shu 16, "The fan that restored youth" (Wakagi no hogi). Example. Kamihei-gun: Kamihei 64, "Destroying the snake woman" (Hebi onna taiji). Miyagi, Momoo-gun: Kyodo den 2 125, "The three brothers" (Sannin kyodai); Kyodo den 3 122, "The three brothers" (Sannin Kyodai). Both are humorous tales. Gifu: Hidabito III 10 11, "Choosing the oldest son" (Ani erabi). Nagasaki, Kitatakaku-gun: MK II 10 46, "The three brothers" (Sannin kyodai). It is like a moral tale.
64 The Yanagita Guide To the Japanese Folk Tale Kumamoto, Amakusa-gun: MK II 4 27, "The three sons" (Sannin musuko). It resembles the Kikaijima version. It is well constructed and like one used by a priest in a sermon. Kagoshima, Koshikijima: Koshiki 38, "The three brothers" No. 1 (Sannin kyodai). Kikaijima: Kikai 62, 150, "The inheritance of the third son" (Sannan ga atotori) and "The three brothers" No. 1 (Sannin Kyodai). In the first story the three brothers set out to hunt for brides. The corpse of the demon's mother that one of them was asked to carry home on his back turned to gold. It is like "The hearth fire on New Year's Eve." The second is like the Amakusa tale. Okierabujima: Okinoerabu 217, "The three brothers" (Sannin kyodai). This story resembles a large number of legends, especially that of Koga Saburo.
