57-Japanese Fairy Tales: Faithful

57-Japanese Fairy Tales: Faithful

By Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod

This week, there are two stories from Japanese folklore.  The first has to do with  a butterfly that just won't give up trying to land on the face of a dying man. The second is of a monk-in-training who just doesn't want to stop partying. The creature is Hedley Cow, and she will give you hope that that the relationship with your crush might work out...but will leave you standing alone in the swamp.
