One day, a villager
was baking dumpling while watching
a fire at night in the cottage. Suddenly,
he heard the door rattling. "Who
is there at this time of night"
he asked. "Give me dumplings!"
answered someone and hold out an apron
through the crack in the door. The
villager reluctantly offered one dumpling.
As the possessor of this voice visited
the cottage every night, the villager
gradually became suspicious about
this beggar. At last, he offered a
red heated stone instead of a dumpling.
The beggar shouted "Ouch!"
and dashed away. Next morning, the
villager went out for a search and
found a huge raccoon dog dead beside
the mountain stream. There was the
stone the villager offered on the
burned stomach.
