00:00The cat wandered into the old temple and the priest took it in, even though they barely had any money.
00:06One night, a rich man was traveling past the temple when a storm suddenly appeared.
00:12He ran under a tree to hide and noticed the cat a few feet away.
00:17It lifted up a paw and waved him over.
00:20As soon as the man took a step forward, lightning blasted the ground right where he had been standing.
00:27But he was alive thanks to the cat.
00:30Grateful for this, the man donated money to the temple.
00:33Over time, the cat became a symbol of good luck, recreated as small statues, now seen in shops all over
00:41Japan.
