御山の西、無垢なる鳥獣苛める者在り。
救いを求める声を聞き、飛ぶは鞍馬の大天狗！
「いたいけな動物に石を投げるとは。不埒な人間め、
恥を知れ！　出でよ天狗石……石を投げられる気持ちを
味わうがいい！」
「あーはっはっは！　見るがいいタヌ吉、あの人間の
無様な逃げっぷりを！　腰を抜かしているぞ！　これで
もう動物を苛めようとは考えまいよ！」

御山の東、戯れ樹木を切る者在り。
木たちの声なき声を聞き、飛ぶは鞍馬の大天狗！
「自然を大事にせぬ者に、御山に入る資格無し。喰らえ
木の葉大旋風！」
「プッフー！　まさかフンドシ一丁で川に落ちていく
とは！　愉快痛快！　おおリス蔵、お前の家の仇は取っ
てやったぞ。新しい家を探しに行こう！」

「いやあ、今日もこらしめた、こらしめた。
ん、どうしたタヌ吉、リス蔵？　後ろ？　後ろに何が…
………はああああお師さま！　違うんですこれは悪戯で
はなく御山に害なす不届き者にちょっとした罰をですね
だから装束とか団扇を黙って借りたのも仕方なくで私は
別に悪くな―――」

―――遊びこそが修行なり。

けれどたまには、
笑えない修行（おしおき）も待っている。

In the western mountains, someone was bullying innocent wildlife. Hearing the animal's cry for help, the great tengu of Kurama leaps into action!

"Why you insolent human...throwing rocks at a helpless animal. Have you no shame!? Take that...tengu stone! See how you like a taste of your own medicine!"

"Ahahaha! See that, Tanukichi? Look at the way that human flees so pathetically! And now they're paralyzed with fear! They're never going to think of hurting animals ever again!"

In the eastern mountains, someone was cutting down a helpless tree. Hearing the tree's soundless cry, the great tengu of Kurama leaps into action!

"Those who do not cherish nature have no right to enter this mountain. Take that...great leafy whirlwind!"

"Pffft! I didn't think they would fall into the river in just their underwear! Oooh, I'm laughing so hard! My sides! Ah, Risuzou...don't you worry. I've avenged your house. Now let's go look for a new home for you!"

"Ahhh, a hard day's work of punishing others. Hm? What's wrong, Tanukichi and Risuzou? Behind me? What's behind me? M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-master! It's not what you think! I wasn't doing anything bad... I was just punishing those scoundrels who were harming the mountain... And that's why I had no choice but to sneak off with your dress and fan... It's not my fault―"

Play is truly the best form of training.

But sometimes, one needs a bit of discipline (punishment) that may not be quite so fun...
