Answer:
(a) The honest old man and his wife have a pet dog which they used to feed with fish and tit-bit from their kitchen. The old couple treated the dog like their own child. ... During the meals they used to feed the dog plenty of rice and tidbits of fish from their chopstick.
(b) The dog came running to the farmer, putting its paws against his legs and motioning with its head to some spot behind. He thought it was only playing and did not mind it. However, the dog kept on whining and running to and fro for some minutes. Then the farmer followed it a few yards to a place where it began scratching the ground. The farmer thought there was a bone or a bit of fish buried there and therefore, struck his hoe in the earth. However, what he found was a pile of gold.
(c) The dog made his masters rich by giving them gold coins. His masters became prosperous with it and bought a piece of land. He then asked them to collect the ashes which had the power to sprout blossoms of a withered tree. This magic was seen by the daimyo and rewarded the old couple for this magic.
(d) The owner of the dog was an old man, who was a farmer. He went to his field every morning, followed by his pet, Muko. There, the dog used to pick up worms in the footsteps of the farmer but Muko never harmed the bird, unlike the custom of any other dog.
