Kurookina

Kurookina was an old man living in Momogengou and the husband of Kinouna, who was known for loving things that were gold or otherwise of value. One day, while walking up the mountains he discovered an ebony tree faintly glowing on part of its trunk. Figuring that there might be something valuable inside, the old man cut out that part of the tree and took it home. After showing it to his wife, she tried to get him to return the trunk for fear of a number of consequences taking it could cause. The trunk broke open during this, and Kurookina became terrified by the crying baby that fell out of it.
