Long, long ago in a place called Kyoto, there lived a brave and adventurous boy named Kintaro. He was not like other boys because he had some amazing animal friends Kintaro loved spending time alone in the wild mountains, where he fell in love with a beautiful lady and married her. Even though he did not have any human companions, Kintaro made friends with all the animals around him. He learned how to understand them and even spoke their language But unfortunately, some mean animals spread rumours about him at Court, and he was dismissed from his position. This made him sad, and he didn't live much longer after that. Before Kintaro passed away, he left his beautiful wife all alone to face the world. She was afraid of her husband's enemies, so she ran away to the Azhagar Mountains. It was a secluded place with no people except for woodcutters who rarely visited. In that peaceful forest, she gave birth to a baby boy whom she named Kintaro or the Golden Boy.
