Yoshi the stonecutter.

Part 1
Long ago in the mountains of Japan, there lived a stonecutter called Yoshi. He
was a poor man with a bent back and hard hands from cutting stone. One day ,
Yoshi took some stone to rich man’s house. Yoshi loved the rich man’s
beautiful home, his silk clothes and clean, soft hands.
“Oh I wish I could be a rich man,” said Yoshi.
A cool wind blew and Yoshi heard a whisper in the wind.
It whispered, “Your wish is granted , Yoshi – a rich man you will be.”

The Whisper in the wind “ Your wish is granted, Yoshi – a rich man you will be.”
Yoshi- “A prince is more powerful than a rich man. Oh I wish I could be a
prince,”
The Whisper in the Wind – “Your wish is granted, Yoshi – a prince you’ll be”
Yoshi – “The sun is more powerful a prince. Oh I wish I could be the Sun,”
The whisper in the Wind – “Your wish is granted, Yoshi – the sun you will be.”
Yoshi – “A cloud is more powerful than the sun, oh I wish I could be a cloud,”
The whisper in the Wind – “Your wish is granted, Yoshi – a cloud you will be”

“Rocks are more powerful than clouds,” Yoshi grambled. “I wish I could be a
rock.”
The whisper replied, “Your wish is granted, Yoshi - a rock you will be.”
Now Yoshi was a rock – huge, hard and solid.
“Nothing can be stronger than me,” he boasted.
He did not fear the sun or the rain.
Then Yoshi felt tools cutting into him.
“A stonecutter is stronger than me!” said Yoshi.
“I wish I could be a man again,”
The whisper smiled. “Your wish is granted, Yoshi – a man you will be.”
Yoshi the stonecutter picked up his tools and started to work. His back was
bent and he was poor – but now he was happy.
