Earth Tibet Bodhisattva with a Hat
Once upon a time there lived an amiable old couple in the Japanese countryside. Although they worked hard, they were still very poor, and they almost didn't eat three meals. One day, the old woman told the old man and said, "My wife, it's New Year's Eve tomorrow, but look at our rice bowl! There is only a little sticky rice left, which is only enough to make a small rice ball. If this goes on, what can I do?" At this time, the old woman's face showed a look of sadness and disappointment, and she was not happy that the new year was coming.
