ok these are tales of samurai.really great stories there are 11 so i guess i'll post 1 stories and wait 2 or 3 days till i post the next one. first story:


Dohaku's head

A samurai named dohaku was once traveliing through a forest when 2 ronin suddenly attacked him.before he could draw his sword, they cut his head off.
A lesser manwould have died on the spot.but dohaku was a samurai of the old school.even though his head was gone, he was stil unwilling to admit defeat.he was also extremely angry to have been taken by surprise.
Dohaku drew his sword and attacked the ronin so furiously that they threw their weapons and fled.having driven off his enemies, dohaku got down on his knees and began looking for his head.
"i'm over here! Farther to the left!"his head cried out.
Dohaku finally found his head beneath a bush. he picked it up, washed it off in a stream, tucked it under his arm, and carried it home.
dohaku's wife screamed when her husband came walking trough the door with his head in his hands.
"don't make to much noise," dohaku's head said."there no time to waste. run and fetch a doctor.Quick!"
the doctor arrived moments later. After examining the patient, he said"This is the most unusual case. i cannot guarantee that dohaku-san will recover, but i will do what i can." he asked the head,"do u feel any pain?"
"none whatsoever! even my old wounds no longer bother me. I cannot feel them at all."
"understandable," the doctor said. "but i'll try to reattach you. you cannot go about the village like this. it would frighten the children."
The doctor painted dohaku neck with a special glue made from pine resin,garlic oil,and healing herbs. He put dohaku's head back on his shoulders. Then he wound a silk cord tightly around around dohaku's neck to hold it in place. after making dohaku sit in a empty rice bin, he buried him in rice,so that only his topknot showed.
"stay there and don't move,"the doctor said.
three days later the doctor uncovered dohaku's face."how do u feel?"he asked. "fine!" dohaku said.the doctor covered him up again.three days later the doctor asked again,"how do u feel?""perfectly well!" said dohaku.the doctor covered him up again.three days after that the doctor dug away the rice and asked again ,"well how do u feel now?"
"I fell terrible!" dohaku groaned.""im hungry. im thristy. my back aches. my knees are torturing me. my whole body feels as if it is on fire. how much longer do i have to endure this sitting?"
"you don't have to endure it at all,"the doctor said."Get up. u are cured."
dohaku's wife helped her husband to his feet. the doctor unwound the silk cord from around the samurai's neck.
dohaku moved his head from side to side."my head is back on again"he exclaimed,extremely pleased.
It is often said that samurai of recent time are nothing like the samurai of ages past.
Neither are the doctors.
