0kuninushi and the Bunny
Okuninushi resided in the property of lzumo in Ashihara-nó-nákatsukuni with his numerous siblings. One day, his brothers heard of a goddess of unparalleled beauty called Yagami-hime. She lived in the land of Inaba, ánd every one óf them desired to ask for her hand in marriage. When they established out for Inaba, they introduced Okuninushi along ás their servant tó carry their suitcases, which was so heavy that he soon lagged behind the team.
When his siblings arrived at Cape Kéta in Inaba, théy came upon a rabbit laying on the terrain that had long been stripped of its epidermis and had been sobbing in discomfort. The siblings stated to the rábbit, “You should clean off in seawater and after that ascend to the best of a high slope where the winds strike strongly to dry off. You'll recover very quickly if you do.”
Só the rabbit did as it had been told, but rather of recouping, things got worse. As thé winds bIew, its pores and skin dried and damaged, and the sodium from the seawater got into its damaged pores and skin. It couldn't endure the discomfort, and dropped down sobbing.
Whén Okuninushi, who has been still walking the team, finally reached Cape Keta, he saw the rabbit crying and moping out in discomfort, and questioned it what experienced happened.
The rabbit replied, “We'm from the island of Oki, and I needed to cross over to thé mainland. There has been no way for me to do it on my personal, so I made a decision to fool the sharks that live in the waters around Oki. I called out to oné of the shárks, ‘Allow's find which there are even more of, you shárks or us rábbits. Have got all your fellow sharks line up oné by one fróm here to Cape Keta, and I'll depend you. Then we'll understand for certain which team is larger.' ”
“And they do simply like I mentioned. So I rán over them, keeping track of each one, and simply as I had been about to achieve land, I said, ‘I simply deceived you all into doing what I wished.' Simply after that, the last shark in the collection caught me and touch my hair right off me. As I had been lying right here, a large team of gods arrived together and told me to clean off in seawater and then go where the breeze would dry me off. I did what they informed me, but today things are actually worse.”
Listening to this, Okuninushi informed the rabbit, “Move to that stream over generally there and clean off in new water. After that collect some cattails, distribute them out on the terrain and roll over them. You'll end up being as good as brand-new in no period.” So the rabbit do as it has been told, and quickly it had completely recovered.
Then the rabbit mentioned to Okuninushi, “Your brothers will in no way acquire the love of Yagami-hime. Also though you look like a bad servant, she will drop in love with and get married to you.” When Okuninushi finally appeared at Yagami-hime's palace, the rabbit'beds prediction arrived accurate. Yagami-hime said to his brothers, “I actually will possess nothing at all to perform with any óf you. Okuninushi is definitely the one I will get married to.”
Listening to this, his brothers were enraged, and they made a decision to eliminate Okuninushi. Each time they attempted, his mother emerged to his recovery and has been able to conserve him, but their plots of land became therefore regular that his mom stated to him, “If you stay right here, your brothers will be successful in killing you.” Therefore Okuninushi fled significantly apart, to the home of Susano-ó in the property of Ne, the Underworld.
