Question
How did the dog repay his master?
✓

Answer

The dog when he was alive guided his master to a heap of gold. After his death, he appeared in a dream and asked his master to prepare a mortar and a mill from the woods of the pine tree. While making the rice pastries and bean sauce during the New Year using the mortar and the mill, the kind old couple again found gold dripping out from every drop of the sauce.
After the mortar and the mill had been burnt to ashes by the wicked neighbours, the dog again appeared in the farmer’s dream and asked the master to collect the ashes of the mortar and the mill and sprinkle them over the withered trees. The withered trees sprouted Into blossom. Being greatly pleased by the magic, they were rewarded with presents of silk robes, sponge- cake, fans and other things by the daimyo.
