Episode Title:
Swamp Offering.
Episode Description:
A couple who has just recently married moves to a village in the countryside where the husband once lived as a child. On the way to the village, the husband explains about a "swamp offering", a custom the villagers have held for generations. A person tosses their most valuable possession into the swamp so that when disaster strikes, the object will act as a scapegoat. The husband explains as a kid, he and his friends didn't want to toss their toys into the swamp, so they would throw junk in it instead. The kids were told if they were lying, the Muddy would come and take them into the swamp. The couple stays at the husband's family's house, where the mother tells the wife that she must obey the rules. The wife immediately becomes the target of harsh criticism from the husband's mother, who reprimands her for wearing the wedding ring while washing the dishes. She takes the ring, an heirloom of the wife's mother. At dinner, it is revealed that the village still does the swamp offering custom. On the way to the swamp, the husband apologizes to his wife for getting her dragged into this and tells her to throw in whatever; she brought the pen she once had at school. They arrive at three trees tied together with Shimenawa rope and are told by the village elder to toss the items into the swamp. They do so, and watch the items sink. Suddenly, the wife notices the husband's mother toss one more item into the swamp: her wedding ring. The mother explains that it doesn't have to be your own most prized possession to be tossed into the swamp so long as it's a most prized possession or the Muddy will come and take the thing you really prized the most. In tears, the wife runs away. Back at home, the husband tells her that his mother will apologize. The wife then says it's no need, since it was her fault. She made the decision to be his wife, so she just needs to treasure her more like she said... The next morning, the husband goes to wake up his mother, only to find a trail of mud leading to her room. While the husband looks for her, the wife, with a smile on her face and her wedding ring back on her bloodstained hand mumbles, "Mother, where could you have gone? You are my most precious mother. I wanted you to teach me so many things... Did you get angry and leave because I'm a terrible wife? I'm sorry...my most precious mother..." The story ends with the trail of mud leading back to the swamp, which bubbles, and the mother's words, "...or the Muddy will come and take the thing you really treasure most..." Like the mother said, it didn't have to be the wife's own precious thing that had to be tossed into the swamp. So she used her husband's...
