Once upon a time, there was a racoon in a mountain behind a old man's house.
The raccoon was nasty.
""Hey, you cranky old guy""
The racoon teased impolitely when the old man was working on the farm.
Also he stole potatoes from the old man's farm at night.
The old man could not bear the raccoon's mischief anymore.
He set a trap in the farm and caught the raccoon.
He wound up the racoon with a rope and hung him from the ceiling.
"My dear, this is a very nasty racoon so never untied this rope."
he said to his wife.
And then the old man went to the farm for a work.
After the old man was gone, the nasty racoon talked to the wife.
"Ma'am, I regret what I have done. I won't do it again"
"Let me give you a massage on your shoulder as my apology"
"You are trying to trick me and escape aren't you?"
"No not at all.
I'd like to make you a mystic bun inherited from my ancestors."
"The mystic bun?" said the wife with curiosity.
"Yes the mystic bun.
It is not just delicious you can live 10 years longer with one bite."
"I'm sure your husband will be happy to eat it.
Of course, you can hang me up again after I make the mystic bun."
"Is that so? You said my husband can live longer".
"The wife was tricked with the raccoon's smooth talk and untied the rope around him.
Once the raccoon was free,
he attacked the wife and beat her to death with a stick near him.
""Uh-huh! So easy to trick a stupid old woman.""
The racoon threw a parting shot and ran away to the mountain behind the house.
When the old man came home, he found his wife laying on the floor.
"My dear!, my dear! Oh no. What happened?"
An amiable rabbit came into the house when the old man was crying so hard.
"Sir, what happened?" The rabbit asked with concern.
"Was it the nasty racoon, isn't it? I will avenge your wife on that nasty racoon."
said the rabbit.
The rabbit made up a plan how to get the racoon and invited him for collecting firewoods.
"Mr. Racoon, let's go collecting firewoods together. It will be fun."
"Hum. It's a good idea! O.K let's go"
Both of them packed firewoods on their back after finished collecting.
On the way home, the rabbit put fire with a flint on the raccoon's firewoods on his back.
"CRACKLE! CRACKLE!"
"Hey Rabbit, Did you hear that? What is the crackling sound?"
"Oh, That was a crackling from the mountain. People called here the crackling mountain."
"Is that so?"
After a while, the firewoods on the raccoon's back was a roaring fire.
"Hey rabbit, what is this roaring sound?"
"Well, this mountain is called the roaring mountain.
That's why we hear roaring sound."
"Is that so?"
Now the firewoods on the raccoon's back was burning vigorously.
"I feel something hot on my back. Wow, it's hot, HOT! HOT!, HELP! HELP!"
The raccoon's back was severely burned.
The next day the rabbit brought an ointment made of red pepper to the suffering racoon.
"Here is an ointment good for burns."
The rabbit presented a secret pepper ointment.
"That will help. That crackling mountain is really dangerous, isn't it?"
The racoon said shaking his head.
"Well, put the ointment on my back, will you? It's really painful."
"Sure, turn around."
The rabbit put a lot of ointment on the raccoon's back.
"Wow! What is this? It hurts! A lot!"
"Be patient. Good medicine is sometimes painful."
The rabbit applied an extra amount of ointment and spread it around.
"Woooow!"
The raccoon was screaming in agony.
Then the racoon fainted from the unbearable pain.
Several days later, the raccoon got better so the rabbit invited him fishing.
"Hey Mr. Racoon, I made a boat so we can go fishing."
"Good idea! Yes, I'd like to," the racoon agreed.
When they arrived at the sea, there were two boats on the shore.
"Mr. Racoon, this is your boat, matching your body color," pointing to the brown one.
Then the rabbit got in a white wooden boat.
The raccoon got on the brown boat which was made from mud.
The boats headed out to the open sea.
"How is your boat," asked the rabbit.
"Yeah, this is good. Thank you for making it.
Wait!. Oh my gosh, water is rushing into my boat!"
The brown boat was dissolving little by little.
""Wow! HELP! HELP! My boat is disappearing.""
The rabbit calmly said to the panicking racoon.
""You killed the old man's wife.
You deserve what you get.""
The raccoon's boat completely dissolved and his body was swallowed into the deep blue ocean.
