Saved by the Woman in a Red Kimono

In a peaceful village surrounded by green hills, there lived a curious young girl named Emi. One day, her curiosity led her to an old well at the village’s edge. She peered over the edge, fascinated by the darkness below. But suddenly, she slipped and fell into the cold, dark water.

Terrified, Emi thought she was going to drown. But then, she felt gentle hands lifting her up, holding her above the water. She felt safe and warm, even in the cold well. Meanwhile, the village was in a panic. Emi’s parents and neighbors searched everywhere, their hearts heavy with fear.

When they found her by the well, safe and dry, they were astonished. Emi told them about the woman in a red kimono who had saved her, waiting with her until help arrived. The villagers whispered among themselves, some saying, “It must have been Oyasama!”

From that day on, the villagers believed Oyasama was watching over them. The well became a symbol of faith and protection. Emi never forgot her miraculous rescue. Her story was told and retold, a cherished tale of hope and divine intervention.
