Legend of the Mountain Spirit

In a mountain village there lived an old man who loved to pick mushrooms. One day he found an unusual mushroom that looked like a mask. He brought this mushroom home and put it on a shelf. Every time he looked at it, it seemed to him that the mushroom began to move and change its facial expression.

One night, when the old man was sleeping, he heard a voice coming from the mushroom. The voice told him that the mushroom was the spirit of the mountain, who could grant any wish. The old man made a wish for health and youth. The next morning he woke up as a young and healthy man.
