Momotaro, the Peach Boy — East Asia (Well-Known) | Bedtime World Tour
The last episode of Season Two. Tonight we travel to Japan, to a village between the hills, for the story almost every child in Japan can tell you by heart. An old woman kneeling at the river sees something coming down the current toward her — a peach the size of a melon — and when she puts it on the table that evening it opens by itself. Fifteen years later the boy inside it walks out of the village with a bundle of millet dumplings, and picks up a dog, a monkey and a pheasant on the road.
A world folktale every night, told to help you fall asleep. Follow the show so tomorrow night's story…
