And the moral of the story, be kind to people, do good in your life and if you have a giant pile of money, invest it in something and DON'T WASTE IT. That I even have to tell you...
I can't help but feel bad for the former samurai. I mean, he was spared from death by the demon king and was even rewarded for being courteous, all for him to end up squandering his new found wealth frivolously, and breaking his promise to the demon king, and ended up suffering a fate worse than death. Now all I can do is ponder on what the former samurai could've done if things were different.
This is a good story that demonstrates that the wealth and luck of a man is nothing without his character. The oni though described as a demon, was judge jury and executioner to the people. Might also add, a rather fair one. The samurai offered his horse (a precious commodity i assume) and the oni repayed him by not only letting him live but also giving him gold. I suspect the oni was curious to see what would happen. In the oni's mind, he just saw a man give up something rather precious to live. But would he be able to give up his virtues to live a hedonistic life, just like he gave up his horse?
The problem is... if you don't have business owners around and your family didn't teach you to think rationally and programatic about your future, it's very hard to suddenly become antreprenorial as you receive some big sum of money...maybe some have good intuition though... the demon also can have a course or tutoring with the unprepared people, if he expects them to be innovating and make profit , Could be nice
If the man knew he was forced to work for the rest of his life and imprisoned by the demon then nobody actually knew what had happened him then where does the story got passed onto.. Is it a madeup story😂
