Once upon a time there lived an old man and his wife.
The old man spent every day cutting down bamboo trees and making baskets and trays out of them.
One day, he went to the bamboo forest as usual and set eyes on one bamboo tree that was shining with light at the bottom.
Stricken with curiosity, the old man cut the tree at a point just above where the light was shining, and to his surprise, a beautiful baby girl sat huddled inside.
He lifted the baby carefully onto the palm of his hand and carried her back home.
The old man and his wife had never had any children. They named the baby Shining Princess and took very great care of her.
