It is rather a long one, and we must go a good way back to get to the beginning of it. In fact, we must go back to the beginning of the world.

1:02After the world had been created, it became a property of a very powerful fairy. And when this fairy was about to die, he divided it between his two boys and his girl. The girl, called Amma, was given the sun. The eldest boy, called Susano, was given the sea. And the second boy, whose name I forget, was given the moon. Well, the moon boy behaved himself properly, and you can still see his jolly round face on a clear night when the moon is full. But Susano was very angry and disappointed at having nothing but the cold wet sea to live in. So up he rushed into the sky, burst into the beautiful room inside the sun, where his sister was sitting with her maidens, weaving gold and silver dresses. Broke their spindles trampled upon their work. And in short, did all the mischief he could, and frightened the poor maid's to death.

2:03As for Amma, she ran away as fast as she could, and hid herself in a cave on the side of a mountain, full of rocks and craigs. When she had got into the cave and had shut the door, the whole world became pitch dark. For she was the fairy who ruled the sun, and could make it shine or not, as she chose. In fact, some people say that the light of the sun is really nothing else than the brightness of her own bright eyes. Anyhow, there was great trouble over her disappearance. What was to be done to make the world light again? All sorts of plans were tried. At last, knowing that she was curious, and always liked to see everything that was going on, the other fairy's got up a dance outside the door of the cave. When Amma heard the noise of the dancing and singing and laughing, she could not help opening the door a tiny bit in order to peep through the shink at the fun the other fairies were having.

3:04This was just what they had been waiting for. Look here, cried they. Look at this new fairy more beautiful than yourself, and therewith they thrust forward a mirror. Amma did not know that the face in the mirror was only the reflection of her own, and more and more curious to know who the new fairy could be, she ventured outside the door, where she was caught hold of by the other fairies who piled up the entrance of the cave with big rocks so that no one could ever go into it again. Seeing that she had been tricked into coming out of the cave and that there was no use in sulking any longer, Amma agreed to go back to the sun and shine upon the world as before, provided her brother were punished and sent away in disgrace. For really, he was not safe to live with. This was done. Susa was beaten to within an inch of his life and expelled from the society of the other fairies with orders never to show himself again.

4:07So poor Susa, having been turned out of fairy land, was obliged to come down to the earth. While walking one day on the Bank of Berriver, he happened to see an old man and an old woman with her arms round their young daughter and crying bitterly. What is the matter? Asked Susa. Oh, said they, their voices choked with sobs. We used to have eight daughters, but in a marsh, near our hut, there lives a huge eight-headed serpent who comes out once every year and eats up one of them. We have now only one daughter left. And today is the day when the serpent will come to eat her and then we shall have none. Please, could you not do something to help us? Of course, answered Susa. It will be quite easy. Do not be sad any longer. I am a fairy and I will save your daughter. So he told them to brew some beer

5:09and showed them how to make a fence with eight gates in it and a wooden stand inside each gate and a large vat of beer on each stand. This they did and just as all had been arranged in the way Susa had bitten them, the serpent came. So huge was he that his body trained over eight hills and eight valleys as he rigged along. But as he had eight heads, he also had eight noses which made him able to smell eight times as quickly as any other creature. So, smelling the beer from afar off, he had once glided towards it, went inside the fence, dipped one of his heads into each of the eight vats and drank and drank and drank till he got quite tipsy. Then all his heads dropped down fast to sleep. And Susa, jumping out from the hole, where he had laying hidden, drew his sword and cut them all off.

6:09He cut the body to pieces too. But strange to say, when cutting the tail, the blade of his sword snapped. It had struck against something hard. As the serpent was now dead, there was no danger in going up to it and finding out what the hard thing was. It turned out to be itself a sword, all set with precious stones. The most beautiful sword you ever saw. Susa took the sword and married the beautiful young girl. And he was very kind to her, although he had been so rude to his older sister. They spent the rest of their lives in a beautiful palace which was built on purpose for them. And the old father and mother lived there too. When the old father and mother and Susa and his wife had all died, the sword was handed down to their children and grandchildren. And is now belongs to the Emperor of Japan who looks upon it as one of his most precious treasures.
