Good choice! The old woman was hardworking and kind.

At the river, she started washing clothes. The water was clear and cold.

She sang a song while she worked to make herself happy.

Then, she saw something floating in the water. What was it?

Yes! It was a big, beautiful peach! It was the biggest peach she had ever seen!

The peach was floating down the river. It looked delicious and perfect.

"Oh my!" said the old woman. "What a wonderful peach!"

What should she do with this amazing peach?

Perfect! The old woman carefully caught the peach and carried it home.

The peach was heavy but she was happy. She couldn't wait to share it!

When she got home, her husband was waiting for her.

"Look what I found!" she said excitedly. How should she tell him about it?

Wonderful! The old woman shared her discovery with her loving husband.

"This is incredible!" said the old man. "I have never seen such a big peach!"

They both looked at the peach. It smelled sweet and delicious.

"Should we eat this beautiful peach together?" asked the old man.

Great idea! They decided to share the peach together.

The old man got a big knife. He was very careful.

As he started to cut the peach, something amazing happened!

What do you think came out of the peach?

Exactly! A healthy, beautiful baby boy came out of the peach!

"Hello!" said the baby. "My name is Momotaro! I come from the peach!"

The old man and woman were so surprised but very happy.

How should they react to this miracle?

Perfect! They welcomed Momotaro with open hearts!

"We always wanted a child," said the old woman happily.

"You can be our son!" said the old man with tears of joy.

How should they take care of baby Momotaro?

Excellent! They loved Momotaro and raised him with great care.

Momotaro grew up strong, brave, and kind, just like his parents.

He helped with work and made his parents very proud.

One day, when Momotaro was grown up, he heard terrible news. What was it?

That's right! Evil demons from Demon Island were causing trouble!

They stole treasure, food, and scared all the people in nearby villages.

"Someone must stop these demons!" said the villagers.

What should Momotaro do when he hears this?

Brave choice! Momotaro's heart was full of courage and kindness.

"I must help the people!" said Momotaro. "I will go to Demon Island!"

His parents were worried but proud of their son's brave heart.

What should Momotaro do to prepare for this dangerous journey?

Smart thinking! Momotaro asked his mother to help him prepare.

His loving mother made special rice balls with care and love.

"These rice balls will give you strength," she said with tears in her eyes.

What else should his parents give him for the journey?

Perfect! His parents gave him a sword and their loving blessing.

"Be careful, our dear son," said his father.

"Come home safely," said his mother.

Momotaro started his journey to Demon Island. On the way, he met someone. Who was it?

Correct! Momotaro met a hungry dog on the road.

"Woof! I am so hungry!" said the dog sadly.

"Please, can you help me? I haven't eaten for days!"

What should Momotaro do? He only has a few rice balls for his long journey.

Wonderful! Momotaro shared his rice ball with the hungry dog.

"Thank you so much!" said the dog happily. "You are so kind!"

"Where are you going?" asked the dog after eating.

How should Momotaro answer?

Honest and brave! Momotaro told the dog about his important mission.

"I'm going to Demon Island to stop the evil demons!" said Momotaro.

"That sounds dangerous!" said the dog. "You helped me, so I want to help you too!"

What should Momotaro say to the dog's offer?

Great decision! Momotaro accepted the dog as his first companion.

"Thank you, Dog! Together we can help the people!" said Momotaro.

They walked together and became good friends.

Soon, they met another animal. What animal did they meet?

Exactly! They met a clever monkey sitting in a tree.

"Hello there!" said the monkey. "I can see you're travelers!"

"I'm very hungry. Do you have any food to share?"

The dog looked at Momotaro. What should Momotaro do?

Kind choice! Momotaro shared another precious rice ball.

"You are so generous!" said the monkey. "What brings you on this journey?"

Momotaro explained about the evil demons and his mission.

How should the monkey respond to this story?

Perfect! The monkey wanted to help too!

"I'm very clever and can climb anywhere!" said the monkey.

"We monkeys are also angry at those demons!"

Now Momotaro had two animal friends. They continued walking and met one more friend. Who was it?

Right! They met a beautiful pheasant with colorful feathers.

"Good day, travelers!" said the pheasant politely.

"I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. I'm also hungry..."

Momotaro looked at his last rice ball. What should he do?

Incredibly generous! Momotaro gave away his last rice ball!

The pheasant was so moved by his kindness.

"You gave me your last food! I must help you!" said the pheasant.

Now Momotaro had three loyal animal friends. What should they do next?

Brave decision! They traveled to the scary Demon Island.

The island was dark and frightening. They could hear demon voices!

"Look at that big castle!" said the dog. "The demons must be inside!"

How should they approach this dangerous castle?

Excellent teamwork! They made a plan together.

The dog bit the demons' legs! The monkey jumped on their heads!

The pheasant flew around and confused them! Momotaro fought with his sword!

The demons were shocked! "Stop! We give up!" they cried. What should the team do?

🎉 Perfect ending! 🎉

Momotaro listened to the demons with wisdom and kindness.

"We promise to stop being mean!" said the demon king. "We will return everything we stole!"

They gave back all the treasure and promised to help people instead of hurting them.

Momotaro, the dog, monkey, and pheasant returned home as heroes!

The whole village celebrated their success!
