About 60 years ago, there lived an old Tanuki. He was venerated in a small shrine. But the shrine went into decay and the Tanuki came out again to play his tricks on the farmers.
Once a woman gave birth and the Tanuki happened to see her bottom and then bewitched her. She became quite weak and all prayed for her and begun to recite the 心経を千巻 1000 sutras.
When they had come to about 30 sutras, the Tanuki promised: "When you have finished the 1000, I will not come out any more."
It took them three days to recite all the 1000 sutras.
So the Tanuki said: "Well, I will now go back home, but please keep worshipping me!"
And what do you know, the woman recovered in no time, after worshipping the Tanuki.
