H. CHAMBERLAIN + +GRIFFITH FARRAN & CO., LONDON & SYDNEY, N.S.W. + + + + +ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. + + + + +#THE FISHER-BOY URASHIMA.# + + +Long, long ago there lived on the coast of the sea of Japan a young +fisherman named Urashima, a kindly lad and clever with his rod and +line. + +Well, one day he went out in his boat to fish. But instead of catching +any fish, what do you think he caught? Why! a great big tortoise, with +a hard shell and such a funny wrinkled old face and a tiny tail. Now I +must tell you something which very likely you don't know; and that is +that tortoises always live a thousand years,--at least Japanese +tortoises do. So Urashima thought to himself: "A fish would do for my +dinner just as well as this tortoise,--in fact better. Why should I go +and kill the poor thing, and prevent it from enjoying itself for another +nine hundred and ninety-nine years? No, no! I won't be so cruel. I am +sure mother wouldn't like me to." And with these words, he threw the +tortoise back into the sea. + +The next thing that happened was that Urashima went to sleep in his +boat; for it was one of those hot summer days when almost everybody +enjoys a nap of an afternoon. And as he slept, there came up from +beneath the waves a beautiful girl, who got into the boat and said: "I +am the daughter of the Sea-God, and I live with my father in the Dragon +Palace beyond the waves. It was not a tortoise that you caught just +now, and so kindly threw back into the water instead of killing it. It +was myself. My father the Sea-God had sent me to see whether you were +good or bad. + +"We now know that you are a good, kind boy who doesn't like +to do cruel things; and so I have come to fetch you. You shall marry me, +if you like; and we will live happily together for a thousand years in +the Dragon Palace beyond the deep blue sea." + +So Urashima took one oar, and the Sea-God's daughter took the other; and +they rowed, and they rowed, and they rowed till at last they came to the +Dragon Palace where the Sea-God lived and ruled as King over all the +dragons and the tortoises and the fishes. + +Oh dear! what a lovely place it was! The walls of the Palace were of +coral, the trees had emeralds for leaves and rubies for berries, the +fishes' scales were of silver, and the dragons' tails of solid gold. +Just think of the very most beautiful, glittering things that you have +ever seen, and put them all together, and then you will know what this +Palace looked like. And it all belonged to Urashima; for was he not +the son-in-law of the Sea-God, the husband of the lovely Dragon +Princess? + +Well, they lived on happily for three years, wandering about every day +among the beautiful trees with emerald leaves and ruby berries. But one +morning Urashima said to his wife: "I am very happy here. Still I want +to go home and see my father and mother and brothers and sisters. Just +let me go for a short time, and I'll soon be back again." "I don't like +you to go," said she; "I am very much afraid that something dreadful +will happen. However, if you will go, there is no help for it. Only you +must take this box, and be very careful not to open it. If you open it, +you will never be able to come back here." + +So Urashima promised to take great care of the box, and not to open it +on any account; and then, getting into his boat, he rowed off, and at +last landed on the shore of his own country. + +But what had happened while he had been away? Where had his father's +cottage gone to? What had become of the village where he used to live? +The mountains indeed were there as before; but the trees on them had +been cut down. The little brook that ran close by his father's cottage +was still running; but there were no women washing clothes in it any +more. It seemed very strange that everything should have changed so +much in three short years. So as two men chanced to pass along the +beach, Urashima went up to them and said: "Can you tell me please +where Urashima's cottage, that used to stand here, has been moved +to?"--"Urashima?" said they; "why! it was four hundred years ago that +he was drowned out fishing. His parents, and his brothers, and their +grandchildren are all dead long ago. It is an old, old story. How can +you be so foolish as to ask after his cottage? It fell to pieces +hundreds of years ago." + +Then it suddenly flashed across Urashima's mind that the Sea-God's +Palace beyond the waves, with its coral walls and its ruby fruits and +its dragons with tails of solid gold, must be part of fairy-land, and +that one day there was probably as long as a year in this world, so +that his three years in the Sea-God's Palace had really been hundreds +of years. Of course there was no use in staying at home, now that all +his friends were dead and buried, and even the village had passed away. +So Urashima was in a great hurry to get back to his wife, the Dragon +Princess beyond the sea. But which was the way? He couldn't find it +with no one to show it to him. "Perhaps," thought he, "if I open the box +which she gave me, I shall be able to find the way." So he disobeyed her +orders not to open the box,--or perhaps he forgot them, foolish boy that +he was. Anyhow he opened the box; and what do you think came out of it? +Nothing but a white cloud which floated away over the sea. Urashima +shouted to the cloud to stop, rushed about and screamed with sorrow; for +he remembered now what his wife had told him, and how, after opening the +box, he should never be able to go to the Sea-God's Palace again. But +soon he could neither run nor shout any more. + +Suddenly his hair grew as white as snow, his face got wrinkled, and his +back bent like that of a very old man. Then his breath stopped short, +and he fell down dead on the beach. + +Poor Urashima! He died because he had been foolish and disobedient. If +only he had done as he was told, he might have lived another thousand +years.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/30024-8.zip b/30024-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..484e83e --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-8.zip diff --git a/30024-h.zip b/30024-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1cadaff --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h.zip diff --git a/30024-h/30024-h.htm b/30024-h/30024-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1721b00 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/30024-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,347 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Fisher-Boy Urashima, by B.

But instead of +catching any fish, what do you +think he caught? Why! a great +big tortoise, with a hard shell +and such a funny wrinkled old +face and a tiny tail. Now I +must tell you something which +very likely you don’t know; and +that is that tortoises always live +a thousand years,—at least Japanese +tortoises do. So Urashima +thought to himself: “A fish would +do for my dinner just as well as +this tortoise,—in fact better. Why +should I go and kill the poor +thing, and prevent it from enjoying +itself for another nine hundred +and ninety-nine years? No, no! +I won’t be so cruel. I am sure +mother wouldn’t like me to.” +And with these words, he threw +the tortoise back into the sea.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 375px;"> +<img src="images/img007.jpg" width="375" height="505" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>The next thing that happened +was that Urashima went to sleep +in his boat; for it was one of +those hot summer days when +almost everybody enjoys a nap +of an afternoon. And as he slept, +there came up from beneath the +waves a beautiful girl, +who got into the boat and said: +“I am the daughter of the Sea-God, +and I live with my father +in the Dragon Palace beyond +the waves. It was not a tortoise +that you caught just now, +and so kindly threw back into the +water instead of killing it. It was +myself. My father the Sea-God +had sent me to see whether you +were good or bad.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 558px;"> +<img src="images/img009.jpg" width="558" height="255" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>“We now know that you are a +good, kind boy who doesn’t like +to do cruel things; and so I have +come to fetch you. You shall +marry me, if you like; and we +will live happily together for a +thousand years in the Dragon +Palace beyond the deep blue sea.”</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 598px;"> +<img src="images/img011.jpg" width="598" height="208" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>So Urashima took one oar, and +the Sea-God’s daughter took the +other; and they rowed, and they +rowed, and they rowed till at last +they came to the Dragon Palace +where the Sea-God lived and ruled +as King over all the dragons +and the tortoises and the fishes.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 598px;"> +<img src="images/img013.jpg" width="598" height="361" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>Oh dear! what a lovely place +it was! The walls of the Palace +were of coral, the trees had +emeralds for leaves and rubies +for berries, the fishes’ scales were +of silver, and the dragons’ tails +of solid gold. Just think of the +very most beautiful, glittering +things that you have ever seen, +and put them all together, +and then you will know what +this Palace looked like. And +it all belonged to Urashima; +for was he not the son-in-law of +the Sea-God, the husband of the +lovely Dragon Princess?</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 375px;"> +<img src="images/img014.jpg" width="375" height="601" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 375px;"> +<img src="images/img015.jpg" width="375" height="477" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>Well, they lived on happily +for three years, wandering about +every day among the beautiful +trees with emerald leaves and +ruby berries. But one morning +Urashima said to his wife: “I +am very happy here. Still I +want to go home and see my +father and mother and brothers +and sisters. Just let me go for +a short time, and I’ll soon be +back again.” “I don’t like you +to go,” said she; “I am very +much afraid that something dreadful +will happen. However, if you +will go, there is no help for it. +Only you must take this box, and +be very careful not to open it. +If you open it, you will never +be able to come back here.”</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 375px;"> +<img src="images/img017.jpg" width="375" height="378" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>So Urashima promised to take +great care of the box, and not +to open it on any account; and +then, getting into his boat, he +rowed off, and at last landed on +the shore of his own country.</p> + +<p>But what had happened while +he had been away? Where had +his father’s cottage gone to? +What had become of the village +where he used to live? The +mountains indeed were there as +before; but the trees on them +had been cut down. The little +brook that ran close by his +father’s cottage was still running; +but there were no women washing +clothes in it any more. It +seemed very strange that everything +should have changed so +much in three short years. So +as two men chanced to pass +along the beach, Urashima went +up to them and said: “Can you +tell me please where Urashima’s +cottage, that used to stand here, +has been moved to?”—“Urashima?” +said they; “why! it was +four hundred years ago that he +was drowned out fishing. His +parents, and his brothers, and +their grandchildren are all dead +long ago. It is an old, old story. +How can you be so foolish as to +ask after his cottage? It fell to +pieces hundreds of years ago.”</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 598px;"> +<img src="images/img021.jpg" width="598" height="336" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>Then it suddenly flashed +across Urashima’s mind that the +Sea-God’s Palace beyond the +waves, with its coral walls and +its ruby fruits and its dragons +with tails of solid gold, must be +part of fairy-land, and that one +day there was probably as long +as a year in this world, so that +his three years in the Sea-God’s +Palace had really been hundreds +of years. Of course there was +no use in staying at home, now +that all his friends were dead +and buried, and even the village +had passed away. So Urashima +was in a great hurry to get back +to his wife, the Dragon Princess +beyond the sea. But which was +the way? He couldn’t find it +with no one to show it to him. +“Perhaps,” thought he, “if I +open the box which she gave me, +I shall be able to find the way.” +So he disobeyed her orders not +to open the box,—or perhaps +he forgot them, foolish boy that +he was. Anyhow he opened +the box; and what do you +think came out of it? +Nothing but a white cloud which +floated away over the sea. Urashima +shouted to the cloud to +stop, rushed about and screamed +with sorrow; for he remembered +now what his wife had told him, +and how, after opening the box, +he should never be able to go +to the Sea-God’s Palace again. +But soon he could neither run +nor shout any more.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 598px;"> +<img src="images/img025.jpg" width="598" height="464" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>Suddenly his hair grew as white +as snow, his face got wrinkled, +and his back bent like that of a +very old man. Then his breath +stopped short, and he fell down +dead on the beach.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 375px;"> +<img src="images/img027.jpg" width="375" height="287" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>Poor Urashima! He died because +he had been foolish and +disobedient. If only he had done +as he was told, he might have +lived another thousand years. +Wouldn’t you like to go and +see the Dragon Palace beyond +the waves, where the Sea-God +lives and rules as King over the +Dragons and the tortoises and +the fishes, where the trees have +emeralds for leaves and rubies +for berries, where the fishes’ tails +are of silver and the dragons’ +tails all of solid gold?</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 375px;"> +<img src="images/img028.jpg" width="375" height="599" alt="back cover" title="" /> +</div> + +<p class="center" style="font-size: small;"><em>Printed by the Kobunsha in Tokyo, Japan.</em></p> + +</div> + +<div>*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 30024 ***</div> +</body> +</html> diff --git a/30024-h/images/img001.jpg b/30024-h/images/img001.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8c7a656 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img001.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img002.jpg b/30024-h/images/img002.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..41697cf --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img002.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img003.jpg b/30024-h/images/img003.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d82f843 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img003.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img004.jpg b/30024-h/images/img004.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b76fa5e --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img004.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img007.jpg b/30024-h/images/img007.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9fb09f7 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img007.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img009.jpg b/30024-h/images/img009.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d33687d --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img009.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img011.jpg b/30024-h/images/img011.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..37d0f9e --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img011.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img013.jpg b/30024-h/images/img013.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..63d42de --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img013.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img014.jpg b/30024-h/images/img014.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b92abf3 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img014.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img015.jpg b/30024-h/images/img015.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0fda836 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img015.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img017.jpg b/30024-h/images/img017.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8300cf2 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img017.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img021.jpg b/30024-h/images/img021.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c90b018 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img021.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img025.jpg b/30024-h/images/img025.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b655467 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img025.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img027.jpg b/30024-h/images/img027.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..15de981 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img027.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img028.jpg b/30024-h/images/img028.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..21da510 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img028.jpg diff --git a/30024-h/images/img_l.jpg b/30024-h/images/img_l.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fe46a37 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024-h/images/img_l.jpg diff --git a/30024.txt b/30024.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7e46402 --- /dev/null +++ b/30024.txt @@ -0,0 +1,540 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Fisher-Boy Urashima, by Anonymous + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

You shall marry me, +if you like; and we will live happily together for a thousand years in +the Dragon Palace beyond the deep blue sea." + +So Urashima took one oar, and the Sea-God's daughter took the other; and +they rowed, and they rowed, and they rowed till at last they came to the +Dragon Palace where the Sea-God lived and ruled as King over all the +dragons and the tortoises and the fishes. + +Oh dear! what a lovely place it was! The walls of the Palace were of +coral, the trees had emeralds for leaves and rubies for berries, the +fishes' scales were of silver, and the dragons' tails of solid gold. +Just think of the very most beautiful, glittering things that you have +ever seen, and put them all together, and then you will know what this +Palace looked like. And it all belonged to Urashima; for was he not +the son-in-law of the Sea-God, the husband of the lovely Dragon +Princess? + +Well, they lived on happily for three years, wandering about every day +among the beautiful trees with emerald leaves and ruby berries. But one +morning Urashima said to his wife: "I am very happy here. Still I want +to go home and see my father and mother and brothers and sisters. Just +let me go for a short time, and I'll soon be back again." "I don't like +you to go," said she; "I am very much afraid that something dreadful +will happen. However, if you will go, there is no help for it. Only you +must take this box, and be very careful not to open it. If you open it, +you will never be able to come back here." + +So Urashima promised to take great care of the box, and not to open it +on any account; and then, getting into his boat, he rowed off, and at +last landed on the shore of his own country. + +But what had happened while he had been away? Where had his father's +cottage gone to? What had become of the village where he used to live? +The mountains indeed were there as before; but the trees on them had +been cut down. The little brook that ran close by his father's cottage +was still running; but there were no women washing clothes in it any +more. It seemed very strange that everything should have changed so +much in three short years. So as two men chanced to pass along the +beach, Urashima went up to them and said: "Can you tell me please +where Urashima's cottage, that used to stand here, has been moved +to?"--"Urashima?" said they; "why! it was four hundred years ago that +he was drowned out fishing. His parents, and his brothers, and their +grandchildren are all dead long ago. It is an old, old story. How can +you be so foolish as to ask after his cottage? It fell to pieces +hundreds of years ago." + +Then it suddenly flashed across Urashima's mind that the Sea-God's +Palace beyond the waves, with its coral walls and its ruby fruits and +its dragons with tails of solid gold, must be part of fairy-land, and +that one day there was probably as long as a year in this world, so +that his three years in the Sea-God's Palace had really been hundreds +of years. Of course there was no use in staying at home, now that all +his friends were dead and buried, and even the village had passed away. +So Urashima was in a great hurry to get back to his wife, the Dragon +Princess beyond the sea. But which was the way? He couldn't find it +with no one to show it to him. "Perhaps," thought he, "if I open the box +which she gave me, I shall be able to find the way." So he disobeyed her +orders not to open the box,--or perhaps he forgot them, foolish boy that +he was. Anyhow he opened the box; and what do you think came out of it? +Nothing but a white cloud which floated away over the sea. Urashima +shouted to the cloud to stop, rushed about and screamed with sorrow; for +he remembered now what his wife had told him, and how, after opening the +box, he should never be able to go to the Sea-God's Palace again. But +soon he could neither run nor shout any more. + +Suddenly his hair grew as white as snow, his face got wrinkled, and his +back bent like that of a very old man. Then his breath stopped short, +and he fell down dead on the beach. + +Poor Urashima! He died because he had been foolish and disobedient. If +only he had done as he was told, he might have lived another thousand +years. Wouldn't you like to go and see the Dragon Palace beyond the +waves, where the Sea-God lives and rules as King over the Dragons and +the tortoises and the fishes, where the trees have emeralds for leaves +and rubies for berries, where the fishes' tails are of silver and the +dragons' tails all of solid gold? + + +_Printed by the Kobunsha in Tokyo, Japan._ + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Fisher-Boy Urashima, by Anonymous + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE FISHER-BOY URASHIMA *** + +***** This file should be named 30024.txt or 30024.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/3/0/0/2/30024/ + +Produced by Meredith Bach, Anne Storer and the Online +Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This +file was produced from images generously made available +by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

H. CHAMBERLAIN + +GRIFFITH FARRAN & CO., LONDON & SYDNEY, N.S.W. + + + + +ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. + + + + +#THE FISHER-BOY URASHIMA.# + + +Long, long ago there lived on the coast of the sea of Japan a young +fisherman named Urashima, a kindly lad and clever with his rod and +line. + +Well, one day he went out in his boat to fish. But instead of catching +any fish, what do you think he caught? Why! a great big tortoise, with +a hard shell and such a funny wrinkled old face and a tiny tail. Now I +must tell you something which very likely you don't know; and that is +that tortoises always live a thousand years,--at least Japanese +tortoises do. So Urashima thought to himself: "A fish would do for my +dinner just as well as this tortoise,--in fact better. Why should I go +and kill the poor thing, and prevent it from enjoying itself for another +nine hundred and ninety-nine years? No, no! I won't be so cruel. I am +sure mother wouldn't like me to." And with these words, he threw the +tortoise back into the sea. + +The next thing that happened was that Urashima went to sleep in his +boat; for it was one of those hot summer days when almost everybody +enjoys a nap of an afternoon. And as he slept, there came up from +beneath the waves a beautiful girl, who got into the boat and said: "I +am the daughter of the Sea-God, and I live with my father in the Dragon +Palace beyond the waves. It was not a tortoise that you caught just +now, and so kindly threw back into the water instead of killing it. It +was myself. My father the Sea-God had sent me to see whether you were +good or bad. + +"We now know that you are a good, kind boy who doesn't like +to do cruel things; and so I have come to fetch you. You shall marry me, +if you like; and we will live happily together for a thousand years in +the Dragon Palace beyond the deep blue sea." + +So Urashima took one oar, and the Sea-God's daughter took the other; and +they rowed, and they rowed, and they rowed till at last they came to the +Dragon Palace where the Sea-God lived and ruled as King over all the +dragons and the tortoises and the fishes. + +Oh dear! what a lovely place it was! The walls of the Palace were of +coral, the trees had emeralds for leaves and rubies for berries, the +fishes' scales were of silver, and the dragons' tails of solid gold. +Just think of the very most beautiful, glittering things that you have +ever seen, and put them all together, and then you will know what this +Palace looked like. And it all belonged to Urashima; for was he not +the son-in-law of the Sea-God, the husband of the lovely Dragon +Princess? + +Well, they lived on happily for three years, wandering about every day +among the beautiful trees with emerald leaves and ruby berries. But one +morning Urashima said to his wife: "I am very happy here. Still I want +to go home and see my father and mother and brothers and sisters. Just +let me go for a short time, and I'll soon be back again." "I don't like +you to go," said she; "I am very much afraid that something dreadful +will happen. However, if you will go, there is no help for it. Only you +must take this box, and be very careful not to open it. If you open it, +you will never be able to come back here." + +So Urashima promised to take great care of the box, and not to open it +on any account; and then, getting into his boat, he rowed off, and at +last landed on the shore of his own country. + +But what had happened while he had been away? Where had his father's +cottage gone to? What had become of the village where he used to live? +The mountains indeed were there as before; but the trees on them had +been cut down. The little brook that ran close by his father's cottage +was still running; but there were no women washing clothes in it any +more. It seemed very strange that everything should have changed so +much in three short years. So as two men chanced to pass along the +beach, Urashima went up to them and said: "Can you tell me please +where Urashima's cottage, that used to stand here, has been moved +to?"--"Urashima?" said they; "why! it was four hundred years ago that +he was drowned out fishing. His parents, and his brothers, and their +grandchildren are all dead long ago. It is an old, old story. How can +you be so foolish as to ask after his cottage? It fell to pieces +hundreds of years ago." + +Then it suddenly flashed across Urashima's mind that the Sea-God's +Palace beyond the waves, with its coral walls and its ruby fruits and +its dragons with tails of solid gold, must be part of fairy-land, and +that one day there was probably as long as a year in this world, so +that his three years in the Sea-God's Palace had really been hundreds +of years. Of course there was no use in staying at home, now that all +his friends were dead and buried, and even the village had passed away. +So Urashima was in a great hurry to get back to his wife, the Dragon +Princess beyond the sea. But which was the way? He couldn't find it +with no one to show it to him. "Perhaps," thought he, "if I open the box +which she gave me, I shall be able to find the way." So he disobeyed her +orders not to open the box,--or perhaps he forgot them, foolish boy that +he was. Anyhow he opened the box; and what do you think came out of it? +Nothing but a white cloud which floated away over the sea. Urashima +shouted to the cloud to stop, rushed about and screamed with sorrow; for +he remembered now what his wife had told him, and how, after opening the +box, he should never be able to go to the Sea-God's Palace again. But +soon he could neither run nor shout any more. + +Suddenly his hair grew as white as snow, his face got wrinkled, and his +back bent like that of a very old man.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/30024-8.zip b/old/30024-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..484e83e --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-8.zip diff --git a/old/30024-h.zip b/old/30024-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1cadaff --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h.zip diff --git a/old/30024-h/30024-h.htm b/old/30024-h/30024-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b310cfc --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/30024-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,767 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Fisher-Boy Urashima, by B.

But instead of +catching any fish, what do you +think he caught? Why! a great +big tortoise, with a hard shell +and such a funny wrinkled old +face and a tiny tail. Now I +must tell you something which +very likely you don’t know; and +that is that tortoises always live +a thousand years,—at least Japanese +tortoises do. So Urashima +thought to himself: “A fish would +do for my dinner just as well as +this tortoise,—in fact better. Why +should I go and kill the poor +thing, and prevent it from enjoying +itself for another nine hundred +and ninety-nine years? No, no! +I won’t be so cruel. I am sure +mother wouldn’t like me to.” +And with these words, he threw +the tortoise back into the sea.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 375px;"> +<img src="images/img007.jpg" width="375" height="505" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>The next thing that happened +was that Urashima went to sleep +in his boat; for it was one of +those hot summer days when +almost everybody enjoys a nap +of an afternoon. And as he slept, +there came up from beneath the +waves a beautiful girl, +who got into the boat and said: +“I am the daughter of the Sea-God, +and I live with my father +in the Dragon Palace beyond +the waves. It was not a tortoise +that you caught just now, +and so kindly threw back into the +water instead of killing it. It was +myself. My father the Sea-God +had sent me to see whether you +were good or bad.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 558px;"> +<img src="images/img009.jpg" width="558" height="255" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>“We now know that you are a +good, kind boy who doesn’t like +to do cruel things; and so I have +come to fetch you. You shall +marry me, if you like; and we +will live happily together for a +thousand years in the Dragon +Palace beyond the deep blue sea.”</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 598px;"> +<img src="images/img011.jpg" width="598" height="208" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>So Urashima took one oar, and +the Sea-God’s daughter took the +other; and they rowed, and they +rowed, and they rowed till at last +they came to the Dragon Palace +where the Sea-God lived and ruled +as King over all the dragons +and the tortoises and the fishes.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 598px;"> +<img src="images/img013.jpg" width="598" height="361" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>Oh dear! what a lovely place +it was! The walls of the Palace +were of coral, the trees had +emeralds for leaves and rubies +for berries, the fishes’ scales were +of silver, and the dragons’ tails +of solid gold. Just think of the +very most beautiful, glittering +things that you have ever seen, +and put them all together, +and then you will know what +this Palace looked like. And +it all belonged to Urashima; +for was he not the son-in-law of +the Sea-God, the husband of the +lovely Dragon Princess?</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 375px;"> +<img src="images/img014.jpg" width="375" height="601" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 375px;"> +<img src="images/img015.jpg" width="375" height="477" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>Well, they lived on happily +for three years, wandering about +every day among the beautiful +trees with emerald leaves and +ruby berries. But one morning +Urashima said to his wife: “I +am very happy here. Still I +want to go home and see my +father and mother and brothers +and sisters. Just let me go for +a short time, and I’ll soon be +back again.” “I don’t like you +to go,” said she; “I am very +much afraid that something dreadful +will happen. However, if you +will go, there is no help for it. +Only you must take this box, and +be very careful not to open it. +If you open it, you will never +be able to come back here.”</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 375px;"> +<img src="images/img017.jpg" width="375" height="378" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>So Urashima promised to take +great care of the box, and not +to open it on any account; and +then, getting into his boat, he +rowed off, and at last landed on +the shore of his own country.</p> + +<p>But what had happened while +he had been away? Where had +his father’s cottage gone to? +What had become of the village +where he used to live? The +mountains indeed were there as +before; but the trees on them +had been cut down. The little +brook that ran close by his +father’s cottage was still running; +but there were no women washing +clothes in it any more. It +seemed very strange that everything +should have changed so +much in three short years. So +as two men chanced to pass +along the beach, Urashima went +up to them and said: “Can you +tell me please where Urashima’s +cottage, that used to stand here, +has been moved to?”—“Urashima?” +said they; “why! it was +four hundred years ago that he +was drowned out fishing. His +parents, and his brothers, and +their grandchildren are all dead +long ago. It is an old, old story. +How can you be so foolish as to +ask after his cottage? It fell to +pieces hundreds of years ago.”</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 598px;"> +<img src="images/img021.jpg" width="598" height="336" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>Then it suddenly flashed +across Urashima’s mind that the +Sea-God’s Palace beyond the +waves, with its coral walls and +its ruby fruits and its dragons +with tails of solid gold, must be +part of fairy-land, and that one +day there was probably as long +as a year in this world, so that +his three years in the Sea-God’s +Palace had really been hundreds +of years. Of course there was +no use in staying at home, now +that all his friends were dead +and buried, and even the village +had passed away. So Urashima +was in a great hurry to get back +to his wife, the Dragon Princess +beyond the sea. But which was +the way? He couldn’t find it +with no one to show it to him. +“Perhaps,” thought he, “if I +open the box which she gave me, +I shall be able to find the way.” +So he disobeyed her orders not +to open the box,—or perhaps +he forgot them, foolish boy that +he was. Anyhow he opened +the box; and what do you +think came out of it? +Nothing but a white cloud which +floated away over the sea. Urashima +shouted to the cloud to +stop, rushed about and screamed +with sorrow; for he remembered +now what his wife had told him, +and how, after opening the box, +he should never be able to go +to the Sea-God’s Palace again. +But soon he could neither run +nor shout any more.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 598px;"> +<img src="images/img025.jpg" width="598" height="464" alt="image" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>Suddenly his hair grew as white +as snow, his face got wrinkled, +and his back bent like that of a +very old man.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img001.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img001.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8c7a656 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img001.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img002.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img002.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..41697cf --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img002.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img003.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img003.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d82f843 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img003.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img004.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img004.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b76fa5e --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img004.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img007.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img007.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9fb09f7 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img007.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img009.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img009.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d33687d --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img009.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img011.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img011.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..37d0f9e --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img011.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img013.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img013.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..63d42de --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img013.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img014.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img014.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b92abf3 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img014.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img015.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img015.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0fda836 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img015.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img017.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img017.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8300cf2 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img017.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img021.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img021.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c90b018 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img021.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img025.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img025.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b655467 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img025.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img027.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img027.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..15de981 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img027.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img028.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img028.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..21da510 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img028.jpg diff --git a/old/30024-h/images/img_l.jpg b/old/30024-h/images/img_l.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fe46a37 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024-h/images/img_l.jpg diff --git a/old/30024.txt b/old/30024.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7e46402 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024.txt @@ -0,0 +1,540 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Fisher-Boy Urashima, by Anonymous + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

H. CHAMBERLAIN + +GRIFFITH FARRAN & CO., LONDON & SYDNEY, N.S.W. + + + + +ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. + + + + +#THE FISHER-BOY URASHIMA.# + + +Long, long ago there lived on the coast of the sea of Japan a young +fisherman named Urashima, a kindly lad and clever with his rod and +line. + +Well, one day he went out in his boat to fish. But instead of catching +any fish, what do you think he caught? Why! a great big tortoise, with +a hard shell and such a funny wrinkled old face and a tiny tail. Now I +must tell you something which very likely you don't know; and that is +that tortoises always live a thousand years,--at least Japanese +tortoises do. So Urashima thought to himself: "A fish would do for my +dinner just as well as this tortoise,--in fact better. Why should I go +and kill the poor thing, and prevent it from enjoying itself for another +nine hundred and ninety-nine years? No, no! I won't be so cruel. I am +sure mother wouldn't like me to." And with these words, he threw the +tortoise back into the sea. + +The next thing that happened was that Urashima went to sleep in his +boat; for it was one of those hot summer days when almost everybody +enjoys a nap of an afternoon. And as he slept, there came up from +beneath the waves a beautiful girl, who got into the boat and said: "I +am the daughter of the Sea-God, and I live with my father in the Dragon +Palace beyond the waves. It was not a tortoise that you caught just +now, and so kindly threw back into the water instead of killing it. It +was myself. My father the Sea-God had sent me to see whether you were +good or bad. + +"We now know that you are a good, kind boy who doesn't like +to do cruel things; and so I have come to fetch you. You shall marry me, +if you like; and we will live happily together for a thousand years in +the Dragon Palace beyond the deep blue sea." + +So Urashima took one oar, and the Sea-God's daughter took the other; and +they rowed, and they rowed, and they rowed till at last they came to the +Dragon Palace where the Sea-God lived and ruled as King over all the +dragons and the tortoises and the fishes. + +Oh dear! what a lovely place it was! The walls of the Palace were of +coral, the trees had emeralds for leaves and rubies for berries, the +fishes' scales were of silver, and the dragons' tails of solid gold. +Just think of the very most beautiful, glittering things that you have +ever seen, and put them all together, and then you will know what this +Palace looked like. And it all belonged to Urashima; for was he not +the son-in-law of the Sea-God, the husband of the lovely Dragon +Princess? + +Well, they lived on happily for three years, wandering about every day +among the beautiful trees with emerald leaves and ruby berries. But one +morning Urashima said to his wife: "I am very happy here. Still I want +to go home and see my father and mother and brothers and sisters. Just +let me go for a short time, and I'll soon be back again." "I don't like +you to go," said she; "I am very much afraid that something dreadful +will happen. However, if you will go, there is no help for it. Only you +must take this box, and be very careful not to open it. If you open it, +you will never be able to come back here." + +So Urashima promised to take great care of the box, and not to open it +on any account; and then, getting into his boat, he rowed off, and at +last landed on the shore of his own country. + +But what had happened while he had been away? Where had his father's +cottage gone to? What had become of the village where he used to live? +The mountains indeed were there as before; but the trees on them had +been cut down. The little brook that ran close by his father's cottage +was still running; but there were no women washing clothes in it any +more. It seemed very strange that everything should have changed so +much in three short years. So as two men chanced to pass along the +beach, Urashima went up to them and said: "Can you tell me please +where Urashima's cottage, that used to stand here, has been moved +to?"--"Urashima?" said they; "why! it was four hundred years ago that +he was drowned out fishing. His parents, and his brothers, and their +grandchildren are all dead long ago. It is an old, old story. How can +you be so foolish as to ask after his cottage? It fell to pieces +hundreds of years ago." + +Then it suddenly flashed across Urashima's mind that the Sea-God's +Palace beyond the waves, with its coral walls and its ruby fruits and +its dragons with tails of solid gold, must be part of fairy-land, and +that one day there was probably as long as a year in this world, so +that his three years in the Sea-God's Palace had really been hundreds +of years. Of course there was no use in staying at home, now that all +his friends were dead and buried, and even the village had passed away. +So Urashima was in a great hurry to get back to his wife, the Dragon +Princess beyond the sea. But which was the way? He couldn't find it +with no one to show it to him. "Perhaps," thought he, "if I open the box +which she gave me, I shall be able to find the way." So he disobeyed her +orders not to open the box,--or perhaps he forgot them, foolish boy that +he was. Anyhow he opened the box; and what do you think came out of it? +Nothing but a white cloud which floated away over the sea. Urashima +shouted to the cloud to stop, rushed about and screamed with sorrow; for +he remembered now what his wife had told him, and how, after opening the +box, he should never be able to go to the Sea-God's Palace again. But +soon he could neither run nor shout any more. + +Suddenly his hair grew as white as snow, his face got wrinkled, and his +back bent like that of a very old man. Then his breath stopped short, +and he fell down dead on the beach. + +Poor Urashima! He died because he had been foolish and disobedient. If +only he had done as he was told, he might have lived another thousand +years. Wouldn't you like to go and see the Dragon Palace beyond the +waves, where the Sea-God lives and rules as King over the Dragons and +the tortoises and the fishes, where the trees have emeralds for leaves +and rubies for berries, where the fishes' tails are of silver and the +dragons' tails all of solid gold? + + +_Printed by the Kobunsha in Tokyo, Japan._ + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Fisher-Boy Urashima, by Anonymous + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE FISHER-BOY URASHIMA *** + +***** This file should be named 30024.txt or 30024.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/3/0/0/2/30024/ + +Produced by Meredith Bach, Anne Storer and the Online +Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This +file was produced from images generously made available +by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/30024.zip b/old/30024.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1171aef --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30024.zip |
