There was a human voice from the peach that said not to cut it. Suddenly split; a baby boy jumped out of the peach. The old people were very happy and named him Momotaro which means Peach Boy.
Time passed and the people in the village were afraid of Monster Oni who stole their belongings. When Momotaro was around 15 years old, he wanted to save his village from Monster Oni. Momotaro's parents are very proud of Momotaro. His father gave him a sword; Mother gave him a bag of dumplings.
On the way, Momotaro meets a dog, a monkey and an eagle. He distributed the dumplings to them. The animals joined him to fight Monster Oni. Being a good leader, Momotaro encourages them to work together.
