Many, many years ago, a miser and Irish brawler named Jack, had the misfortune to
meet the devil in a tavern in Halloween. Jack, known drunk, had drunk

His father loved his paintings, and she worked hard every day to have them ready, but because of their work the princess could not meet someone to be in love, which greatly saddened the princess. Worried about his daughter, her father arranged a meeting between her and Hikoboshi (彦星, also known as Kengyuu, 牵牛), a shepherd who lived across the river Amanogawa. When the two met and fell in love instantly, shortly after they married.
