00:00Hello little adventurers, today I'm going to tell you a very special story about a beloved Japanese god called Ebisu.
00:10Have you ever heard of him? He's known as the god of luck and prosperity, but that wasn't always the case.
00:19A long time ago, in a magical place in Japan, a very special little baby was born.
00:25His parents were Izanadi and Izanami, the gods who created the Japanese islands, but little Ebisu was born without bones.
00:36Just imagine how different he was.
00:39His worried parents placed baby Ebisu in a bamboo boat and let him sail out to sea, hoping he would find his own way.
00:50Little Ebisu floated for days and days, facing giant waves and meeting incredible sea creatures.
01:00The starfish were his friends.
01:04Dolphins played around him and even whales gently guided him through the ocean.
01:11During his journey, something magical happened.
01:14Ebisu was getting stronger every day.
01:17His bones began to grow, and he learned many important lessons about friendship and perseverance.
01:26One day, Ebisu arrived at a fishing village.
01:30People were enchanted by that special boy, who could talk to fish and brought luck to everyone around him.
01:39Whenever Ebisu appeared, the fishermen were able to catch many fish, and the harvests were more abundant.
01:49With his infectious smile and kind heart, Ebisu became loved by everyone.
01:56He grew up to become a very important god in Japan.
02:00Always helping people with his special luck.
02:05To this day, in many Japanese homes.
02:08You can find small statues of Ebisu, always smiling and carrying a fishing rod with a big fish.
02:17People believe that it brings happiness and prosperity to their families.
02:23And do you know what is the greatest lesson that Ebisu teaches us?
02:27That it doesn't matter how we were born, or what challenges we face.
02:33We can overcome anything with joy, kindness and perseverance.
