Answer
In the time of the daimios, an old couple with no children, had a dog named Muko. They treated him like a baby and he loved them like a being with a soul. The old man was a rice farmer.
In the good old days of the daimios, there lived an old couple whose only pet was a little dog. Having no children, they loved it as though it were a baby. The old dame made it a cushion of blue crape, and at mealtime Muko-for that was its name-would sit on it as snug as any cat. The kind people fed the pet with tidbits of fish from their own chopsticks, and all the boiled rice it wanted. Thus treated, the dumb creature loved its protectors like a being with a soul. The old man, being a rice farmer, went daily.
