木曽の山中、下の村の男達が七人、毒を流す漁の準備をしていた。

毒の準備もできて、さて、食事でもするかと休むと、いつの間にか白い法衣の僧が立っていた。

僧は「毒流しはやめなさい。殺生はやめるのだ」と言う。

In the mountains of Kiso, seven men from the village below were preparing to fish for poison.

The poison was ready, and as they rested to eat, a monk in white vestments appeared before they knew it.

The monk said, "Don't pour out poison. Stop killing," he said.
