Momotaro (Peach Boy)

A long time ago, there live an old couple in a far away land. They have no child and only the two of them live there. One day, they went out to go to a river nearby to get some food. It was their lucky day because a giant peach happens to be floating on the river. Without any second thought they took the peach back home. When the husband tried to cut the peach, it moves. Then came out a teenager from that peach. The couple wasn't surprise even a bit. The teenager came out from the peach so the couple named the teenager Momotaro (Peach Boy). For the couple momotaro is like a blessing from the god given to them but only for a while because  momotaro said that he was destined  to slay a demon that haunts a nearby village. The couple threw momotaro out of the house into the street.

Following his so called destiny, Momotaro travels to the village that was disturbed by the demon. On his way, he suddenly heard a cry for help. He followed the sound and found out the sound came from a monkey, a dog and a pheasant. They were trap in a net. So, Momotaro helped them to escape. After the three animals was released, with the craving to eat Momotaro they attacked him but momotara was to strong for them and end up back trap in the net. Then, came a ringleader of a circus. He was the one that was responsible for the trap. He set up the trap so that he can capture the three idiot animals back so that he can eat them. It was because of their lame act that his circus broke. Momotaro agrees with the ringleader but Momotaro isn't as cruel as the ringleader. Momotaro will let the three idiot animals live as long as the won't do the same thing they tried to do on Momotaro again.So, now Momotaro is accompanied by the three idiot animals. The ring leader also accompanied him.

Now, the group proceed to the village. When they arrived, the village reeks of sweaty smell. There was no women there. The men of the village explain that the demon kidnapped all the women in that village. After that, Momotaro is now  more eager to slay the demon and on top that he now knows where is the location of the demon's island. A short walk from the village the group arrived at the beach. They will need a boat to cross the wide ocean to reach the demon's island. While Momotaro was thinking, he saw a few kids bullying a turtle. Momotaro chase the naughty kids away and save the turtle. Then, the three idiot animals remembered a story about a young man saving a turtle and was brought to an underwater world by the turtle and was also given rewards for his kindness but in the end the man died when he turns old after opening a box given to him from the underwater world. So, the three idiot animals climb on to the back of the turtle and wave their good bye to Momotaro and the ringleader. Just a few seconds after the turtle and the three idiot animals dive into the ocean, the three idiot animals knowing now that they can't breath underwater surfaces up. While the three idiots  was goofing off the ringleader found a boat they can use to go to the island.

In the middle of the sea the three idiot animals started to get hungry. Hearing their tummy grumbling, the ringleader remembered that he has a piece of cookie in his pocket. He then gave the cookie to the three idiot animals. the three idiots fight against each other for the cookie. As they were fighting, the cookie was accidentally roll out of the boat into the ocean. Suddenly, a mysterious lady came out of the ocean. She showed them 2 items. On her right hand she has the cookie that they just drop while the left has a coupon for a big feast in a far away restaurant. The three idiots choose the cookie. For their sense of truth the lady gave them the coupon. After reading the coupon the three idiot animal found out that the coupon had expired since 10 years ago but by the time they finished reading it the lady had disappeared.

The next day, They finally arrived at the demon's island. Just when Momotaro tried to just barge in, the three idiot animals had a good idea. The idea was to disguise themselves before attacking the demon. The dog disguise itself as a monkey, the monkey disguise itself as a pheasant, and the pheasant as a dog. "This is why I wrote them as the three idiots".  The three idiots went inside and found out that the demon's place isn't as scary as they thought. It was a paradise for women in there. Then, Momotaro went inside. Momotaro was dressed like a girl. The three idiots found out that Momotaro isn't a he, he was a she. Being stared for too long Momotaro kicked the idiots so hard that they flew out of the island. Suddenly, the ring leader showed himself. Momotaro was surprised to see that the ring leader was actually the demon that she had always wanted to slay. She felt that she have been tricked all these time. The demon said "I didn't tricked you. I said that I am the ringleader of a circus". Momotaro said that he never said that he was a demon. The demon replied "you never asked me?".  To comfort Momotaro, the demon propose to her and they lived hapilly ever after although Momotaro was a bit shy after hearing it. "Oh, I almost forget about the idiots". In the end the monkey stole a food from a crab and got crushed by a tree trunk. The pheasant went to sing on a tree near an old women's house and had his tongue cut of by her. Finally for the dog, he went to live with an old farmer and in a short time he was buried alive by the farmer because he thought that it would give him a good fortune. But that's all in a different story".
The three idiot animals: Why did we all end up that way?!
