to his mother to drink. Days later Yosoji went back to the section where the three paths meet where he saw the girl in white again. She told him to come back in three days, she will meet him. And it will take five trips to treat the villagers. Five trips later Yosoji’s mother was healed and so were many other villagers. The villagers thanked him, but he knew that he owned it all to the girl in white. So he went back to the stream to give thanks to the women in white. However, he found that the stream was completely dried up and the girl was nowhere to be seen so Yosoji prayed that the girl would reveal herself, and thank her for her actions. The girl appeared before him and Yosoji said that he wished to tell her how deeply grateful he was to her and he wished to know who she was so he could tell the villagers who to thank. The woman in white said who she was is not important and said farewell to Yosoji. She then swung a branch of camellia over her head and a cloud from Mount Fuji came down and picked her up. That is when Yosoji realized the woman was none other than the Goddess of Mount Fuji.
