The mountain god lord has been having a headache lately. He found that someone was stealing his glutinous rice dumplings. Those dumplings are the tribute that the mortals in the mountain area present every New Year. After pounding the good glutinous rice, they are kneaded into a big, white, round ball, soft and sticky, and delicious. For the mountainous areas where it is not suitable to grow rice, glutinous rice dumplings are a rare thing, and the number of tributes is very limited every year. As a result, this count on the count out of the problem. Lord Mountain God's precious dumplings every night than the first day to one less. The teenage Yamagami-sama sat cross-legged on the floor of the inner room of the shrine and clenched his fist with a serious look. There was a thief. And a food thief with the same knowledge and taste as Yamagami-same. To catch the thief, Yamagami-sama stayed up most of the night, lying on the roof of the room where the glutinous rice dumplings were stored and uncovered a tile to look down. But even look at several hours have not moved, but was the cold mountain breeze at night blowing snot long, shivering, completely tense daily out of the high cool persona. Needless to say, the Lord of the Mountain is God of light and fire on the account of the unknown thief. Just when the yawning mountain gods intend to give up, there was a sudden movement in the room below - only to see a fat white glutinous rice dumpling change its shape, stretching into a small white fox that has become a fine model. It thief lively look at the four directions, think there is nothing strange, it will strut the paws to hold a real glutinous rice dumpling next to a big mouth open nibble. This little white fox should be the same as the mountain god, also like the good taste of glutinous rice dumplings. Otherwise, when the mountain gods (think) descended from the sky in a mighty manner and caught the doughnut thief red-handed, his face would not still have the satisfaction of enjoying the delicious giggle. *** The little white fox who was caught with the "fox and stolen goods" was a bit apprehensive. He originally thought he was a little genius for coming up with the brilliant idea of "curling up in a ball and pretending to be a glutinous rice dumpling, mixed in with the tribute to steal food every night. But when he saw the fancy dress mountain god with a stern face, glaring at himself, he began to regret that he was a big fool for jumping into the pit of his own accord. "Venerable Lord Mountain God, I'm sorry." The little white fox on the front paws weakly worships, two furry ears and a big tail also drops down, making a pathetic look of cute, trying to get by with this, "I should not steal to eat glutinous rice dumplings, I implore your forgiveness." But the shrewd Lord of the Mountain God is not easy to fool. "Since you stole my dumplings ......" he glared at the little hairy thief condescendingly and made a verdict, "then you have to be my servant." The little white fox now really regrets death. But it is stealing a few glutinous rice dumplings, but now it has made itself and signed a contract of sale. Not only do you have to get up early every day to follow the mountain gods to do morning lessons, but you also have to turn into a little child, responsible for boiling water and making tea, cleaning the shrine, patrolling the mountain trails, and sorting out feedback from the mountain people's wishes and prayers. Every day from morning to night, it is so tired that it is losing its hair. "It's not fair." The little white fox stood beside the stone statue in the shrine courtyard, sweeping the ground with a huff. "I just stole a few doughnuts and I have to do so much work!"
