Dear Student,

The good old man made the mortar for the rice pastry by following the instructions given by the spirit of the dog.  He chopped down the tree and cut out of the middle of the trunk a section about two feet long. With great labour, he scraped out a hollow place as big as a small bowl. He then made a long handled hammer of wood, such as used for pounding rice.

When New Year's time drew near, the good old couple wished to make some rice pastry. When the rice was all boiled, granny added it to the mortar and the old man lifted his hammer to pound the mass into dough. As soon as he did that the whole mass turned into a heap of gold coins.
