there was a king in his own time in erin , and he went hunting one day . the king met a man whose head was out through his cap , whose elbows and knees were out through his clothing , and whose toes were out through his shoes . the man went up to the king , gave him a blow on the face , and drove three teeth from his mouth . the same blow put the king 's head in the dirt . when he rose from the earth , the king went back to his castle , and lay down sick and sorrowful . the king had three sons , and their names were ur , arthur , and lawn dyarrig . the three were at school that day , and came home in the evening . the father sighed when the sons were coming in . " what is wrong with our father ? " asked the eldest . " your father is sick on his bed , " said the mother . the three sons went to their father and asked what was on him . " a strong man that i met to - day gave me a blow in the face , put my head in the dirt , and knocked three teeth from my mouth . what would you do to him if you met him ? " asked the father of the eldest son . " if i met that man , " replied ur , " i would make four parts of him between four horses . " " you are my son , " said the king . " what would you do if you met him ? " asked he then as he turned to the second son . " if i had a grip on that man i would burn him between four fires . " " you , too , are my son . what would you do ? " asked the king of lawn dyarrig . " if i met that man , i would do my best against him , and he might not stand long before me . " " you are not my son . i would not lose lands or property on you , " said the father . " you must go from me , and leave this to - morrow . " on the following morning the three brothers rose with the dawn ; the order was given lawn dyarrig to leave the castle and make his own way for himself . the other two brothers were going to travel the world to know could they find the man who had injured their father . lawn dyarrig lingered outside till he saw the two , and they going off by themselves . " it is a strange thing , " said he , " for two men of high degree to go travelling without a servant . " " we need no one , " said ur . " company would n't harm us , " said arthur . the two let lawn dyarrig go with them as a serving - boy , and set out to find the man who had struck down their father . they spent all that day walking , and came late to a house where one woman was living . she shook hands with ur and arthur , and greeted them . lawn dyarrig she kissed and welcomed ; called him son of the king of erin . " it is a strange thing to shake hands with the elder , and kiss the younger , " said ur . " this is a story to tell , " said the woman , " the same as if your death were in it . "

they made three parts of that night . the first part they spent in conversation , the second in telling tales , the third in eating and drinking , with sound sleep and sweet slumber . as early as the day dawned next morning the old woman was up , and had food for the young men . when the three had eaten , she spoke to ur , and this is what she asked of him : " what was it that drove you from home , and what brought you to this place ? " " a champion met my father , and took three teeth from him and put his head in the dirt . i am looking for that man , to find him alive or dead .

" now , lawn dyarrig , " said the woman , " this horse will never stop till he stands on the little white meadow in the eastern world . when he stops , you 'll come down , and cut the turf under his beautiful right front foot . " the horse started from the door , and at every leap he crossed seven hills and valleys , seven castles with villages , acres , roods , and odd perches . he could overtake the whirlwind before him seven hundred times before the whirlwind behind him could overtake him once . early in the afternoon of the next day he was in the eastern world . when he dismounted , lawn dyarrig cut the sod from under the foot of the slim white steed , in the name of the father , son , and holy ghost , and terrible valley was down under him there . what he did next was to tighten the reins on the neck of the steed and let him go home .

" oh , then , have n't ye anything done but that ? " " stop your mouth , " said ur , " or we 'll make a mortar of your head on the next stone . " " to be kind to one another is the best for us , " said lawn dyarrig . " i 'll make the basket . " while they 'd be putting one rod in the basket he had the basket finished .

" said lawn dyarrig when it was finished and the gad tied to it . " who but me ? " said ur . " i am sure , brothers , if i see anything to frighten me you 'll draw me up . " " we will , " said the other two . he went in , but had not gone far when he cried to pull him up again . " by my father , and the tooth of my father , and by all that is in erin , dead or alive , i would not give one other sight on terrible valley ! " he cried , when he stepped out of the basket .

" who will go now ? " said lawn dyarrig . " who will go but me ? " answered arthur . whatever length ur went , arthur did n't go the half of it . " by my father , and the tooth of my father , i would n't give another look at terrible valley for all that 's in erin , dead or alive ! " " i will go now , " said lawn dyarrig , " and as i put no foul play on you , i hope ye'll not put foul play on me . " " we will not , indeed , " said they . whatever length the other two went , lawn dyarrig did n't go the half of it , till he stepped out of the basket and went down on his own feet . it was not far he had travelled in terrible valley when he met seven hundred heroes guarding the country . " in what place here has the green king his castle ? " asked he of the seven hundred . " what sort of a sprisawn goat or sheep from erin are you ? " asked they . " if we had a hold of you , the two arms of me , that 's a question you would not put a second time ; but if we have n't you , we 'll not be so long . " they faced lawn dyarrig then and attacked him ; but he went through them like a hawk or a raven through small birds . he made a heap of their feet , a heap of their heads , and a castle of their arms .

after that he went his way walking , and had not gone far when he came to a spring . " i 'll have a drink before i go further , " thought he . with that he stooped down and took a drink of the water . when he had drunk he lay on the ground and fell asleep . now , there was n't a morning that the lady in the green knight 's castle did n't wash in the water of that spring , and she sent a maid for the water each time . whatever part of the day it was when lawn dyarrig fell asleep , he was sleeping in the morning when the girl came . she thought it was dead the man was , and she was so in dread of him that she would not come near the spring for a long time . at last she saw he was asleep , and then she took the water . her mistress was complaining of her for being so long . " do not blame me , " said the maid . " i am sure that if it was yourself that was in my place you 'd not come back so soon . " " how so ? " asked the lady . " the finest hero that ever a woman laid eyes on is sleeping at the spring . " " that 's a thing that can not be till lawn dyarrig comes to the age of a hero . when that time comes he 'll be sleeping at the spring . " " he is in it now , " said the girl . the lady did not stop to get any drop of the water on herself , but ran quickly from the castle . when she came to the spring she roused lawn dyarrig . if she found him lying , she left him standing . she smothered him with kisses , drowned him with tears , dried him with garments of fine silk and with her own hair . herself and himself locked arms and walked into the castle of the green knight . after that they were inviting each other with the best food and entertainment till the middle of the following day . then the lady said : " when the green knight bore me away from my father and mother he brought me straight to this castle , but i put him under bonds not to marry me for seven years and a day , and he can not ; still , i must serve him . when he goes fowling he spends three days away and the next three days at home . this is the day for him to come back , and for me to prepare his dinner . there is no stir that you or i have made here to - day but that brass head beyond there will tell of it .

" are there any linen sheets within ? " " there are , " said the weaver . " it is well to have bags ready for yourself and two sons . " the weaver made bags for the three very quickly . they went to the wedding . lawn dyarrig put what dinner was on the first table into the weaver 's bag , and sent the old man home with it . the food of the second table he put in the eldest son 's bag , filled the second son 's bag from the third table , and sent the two home . the complaint went to ur that an impudent stranger was taking all the food . " it is not right to turn any man away , " said the bridegroom , " but if that stranger does not mind he will be thrown out of the castle . " " let me look at the face of the disturber , " said the bride . " go and bring the fellow who is troubling the guests , " said ur to the servants . lawn dyarrig was brought right away , and stood before the bride , who filled a glass with wine and gave it to him . lawn dyarrig drank half the wine , and dropped in the ring which the lady had given him in terrible valley . when the bride took the glass again the ring went of itself with one leap on to her finger . she knew then who was standing before her . " this is the man who conquered the green knight and saved me from terrible valley , " said she to the king of erin ; " this is lawn dyarrig , your son . " lawn dyarrig took out the three teeth and put them in his father 's mouth . they fitted there perfectly , and grew into their old place . the king was satisfied , and as the lady would marry no man but lawn dyarrig , he was the bridegroom . " i must give you a present , " said the bride to the queen . " here is a beautiful scarf which you are to wear as a girdle this evening . " the queen put the scarf round her waist . " tell me now , " said the bride to the queen , " who was ur 's father . " " what father could he have but his own father , the king of erin ? " " tighten , scarf , " said the bride . that moment the queen thought that her head was in the sky and the lower half of her body down deep in the earth . " oh , my grief and my woe !

" i should like to live , " he said to himself , " till i am five or six hundred years old at least , free from all sickness . the ordinary span of a man 's life is very short . " he wondered whether it were possible , by living simply and frugally henceforth , to prolong his life as long as he wished . he knew there were many stories in ancient history of emperors who had lived a thousand years . there was a princess of yamato , who , it was said , lived to the age of five hundred . this was the latest story of a very long life record . the emperor ordered jofuku to set out for the land of horaizan , to find the hermits , and to bring him back a phial of the magic elixir . he gave jofuku one of his best junks , fitted it out for him , and loaded it with great quantities of treasures and precious stones for jofuku to take as presents to the hermits . jofuku sailed for the land of horaizan , but he never returned to the waiting emperor . but ever since that time mount fuji has been said to be the fabled horaizan and the home of hermits who had the secret of the elixir . it has been said that jofuku has been worshiped as their patron god .

the emperor at last called a meeting of his courtiers and asked them all if they could not find for him the " elixir of life " of which he had so often read and heard . one old courtier , jofuku by name , said that far away across the seas there was a country called horaizan . certain hermits lived there who possessed the secret of the " elixir of life . " whoever drank of this wonderful draught lived forever . now sentaro determined to set out to find the hermits , and if he could , to become one , so that he might obtain the water of perpetual life . he remembered that as a child he had been told that not only did these hermits live on mount fuji , but that they were said to inhabit all the very high peaks . so he left his old home to the care of his relatives , and started out on his quest . he traveled through all the mountainous regions of the land , climbing to the tops of the highest peaks , but never a hermit did he find .

as soon as sentaro got down from the bird 's back , the crane folded up of its own accord and flew into his pocket . now sentaro began to look about him wonderingly , curious to see what the country of perpetual life was like . he walked first round about the country and then through the town . everything was , of course , quite strange , and different from his own land . but both the land and the people seemed prosperous , so he decided that it would be good for him to stay there . he took up lodgings at one of the hotels . the proprietor was a kind man . when sentaro told him that he was a stranger and had come to live there , he promised to arrange everything that was necessary with the governor of the city concerning sentaro 's sojourn there . he even found a house for his guest , and in this way sentaro obtained his great wish and became a resident in the country of perpetual life .

within the memory of all the islanders no man had ever died there , and sickness was a thing unknown . priests had come over from india and china and told them of a beautiful country called paradise , where happiness and bliss and contentment fill all men 's hearts . but its gates could only be reached by dying . this tradition was handed down for ages from generation to generation - but none knew exactly what death was except that it led to paradise . quite unlike sentaro and other ordinary people , instead of having a great dread of death , they all , both rich and poor , longed for it as something good and desirable . they were all tired of their long , long lives , and longed to go to the happy land of contentment called paradise of which the priests had told them centuries ago .

all this sentaro soon found out by talking to the islanders . he found himself , according to his ideas , in the land of topsyturvydom . everything was upside down . he had wished to escape from dying . he had come to the land of perpetual life with great relief and joy , only to find that the inhabitants themselves , doomed never to die , would consider it bliss to find death . what he had hitherto considered poison these people ate as good food . all the things to which he had been accustomed as food they rejected . whenever any merchants from other countries arrived , the rich people rushed to them eager to buy poisons . these they swallowed eagerly , hoping for death to come so that they might go to paradise .
