The Grateful Crane (Hard)
A poor man lived in a little house all alone in the woods. One day, he found a wounded crane with a hunter’s arrow stuck in its wing. Feeling sorry for the bird, he pulled out the arrow, saving its life. Then the man watched as the crane flew away.
That night someone knocked on his door. Outside stood a pretty young woman who said she was lost. She begged him to let her stay the night.
Very soon after, they fell in love and got married. They were very happy, but very poor.
