A sparrow, once tenderly kept by a gentle old man, has its tongue cut by his greedy wife and flees deep into the forest. When the worried old man sets out to find it, the sparrow offers him a choice: a large wicker chest or a small one. This beloved Japanese folktale weaves together the bitter end of greed and the quiet happiness that comes to those who are honest of heart.
