The Oni caught sight of what he thought was a big hole in the wall and ran into it.
No one ever heard of an Oni being higher than a yardstick, but they are so strong that one of them can easily lift two bushel bags of rice at once.
The dead Japanese Oni serving as a model, which was made into a water gutter, served more useful purposes, for a thousand years, than ever he had done, in the land where his relations still live and play their pranks.
Above all things else, the most fun for a young Oni is to get into a crockery shop.
