Rice Shop Owner's Daughter

Once upon a time, there was a rice shop owner who had a beautiful daughter. She had long, black hair that she would often wear in a braid. One day, a handsome young man came to the rice shop. He was immediately smitten with the daughter, and they soon fell in love. The young man's name was Taro, and he was a farmer. He was kind and hardworking, and the daughter loved him very much. However, her father did not approve of the match. He thought that Taro was not good enough for his daughter, and he refused to allow them to marry. The daughter was heartbroken. She begged her father to change his mind, but he would not listen. She decided to run away with Taro. They packed their things and left in the middle of the night. The daughter's father was furious when he discovered that they were gone. He sent his men after them, but they were able to escape. The couple traveled far away, and they lived happily ever after. The daughter's long, black hair became a symbol of their love. It was said that as long as the hair remained unbroken, the couple would always be together.
