The Crane Maiden | Folklore Sleep Story

In this bedtime story, you are a poor woodcutter who discovers a wounded crane on your way home from the market. You care for the bird until it can fly again. Shortly after the crane departs, a woman arrives at your doorstep seeking a place to stay. The woman repays your hospitality with mysterious and seemingly magical gifts, which bring you great wealth. As your fortunes change, you become more and more curious about your house guest–until you discover her connection to the crane you once cared for. This tale is adapted from the Japanese folktale “The Crane’s Return of a Favor.” Followed by a meditation for gratitude and love.
