月(つき)の絵(え)の面(めん)

In front of the wealthy person, the old man fanned the daughter's long nose with the side that had the moon's picture, saying "Patapata." Then, the long nose quickly became short, returning to its original cute nose. The wealthy person was very happy and handed the promised large sum of money to the old man. With that money, the old man bought a new house and no longer needed to cut wood. After that, the old man lived happily every day, cherishing the magic fan.
