Once upon a time, in a peaceful mountain village, there lived a kind-hearted elderly couple. One day, as the old woman was baking bread, the loaf suddenly began to shine brightly. Astonished, the couple watched as a vigorous boy emerged from the glowing bread. They named him "Bready" and decided to raise him with great care.
Bready grew up to be a strong and intelligent boy. One day, he decided to go to Tsukiji to learn martial arts. It was said that there was a legendary bear in Tsukiji who could teach him these skills. Bready bid farewell to the elderly couple and set off on his adventure.
When he arrived in Tsukiji, Bready encountered a huge bear. At first, he was frightened, but when he learned that the bear was a master of martial arts and could become his teacher, he eagerly began his training. Bready rode on the bear's back and underwent rigorous training, eventually becoming a martial arts master.
With his newfound skills, Bready set out on another journey. He baked bread, and when he shared it with a dog, a monkey, and a pheasant, they were so impressed by his strength and kindness that they decided to accompany him on his adventures.
One day, as they were walking along the coast, Bready and his companions saw a turtle being bullied by some villains. Bready rushed to the turtle's aid, driving the villains away. The grateful turtle offered to take Bready to the Dragon Palace in return for his kindness.
Bready and his companions followed the turtle to the underwater Dragon Palace. The palace was beautiful, filled with joyful music, dancing, and delicious food. Bready enjoyed his time there so much that he lost track of time.
However, Bready soon began to notice strange things about the Dragon Palace. At night, he heard peculiar noises coming from inside the castle, and the residents' movements seemed odd. One night, Bready decided to investigate the castle secretly. To his surprise, he discovered the shocking truth: the Dragon Palace was actually the hideout of demons who were committing acts of piracy.
Determined to put an end to this, Bready, along with the dog, monkey, and pheasant, decided to fight the demons. They combined their strengths and, after a fierce battle, managed to defeat the demons and take control of the Dragon Palace. Bready found the hidden treasure of gold and silver that the demons had stolen and decided to return to his village with it.
Leaving the Dragon Palace behind, Bready and his companions returned to the surface. Bready confidently headed back to his village, only to find a completely unfamiliar landscape. The villagers were strangers to him. When he asked around, he discovered that 300 years had passed while he was at the Dragon Palace.
Though shocked by the lost time, Bready decided to use the treasure he had brought back to help rebuild and restore the village. His strong will and leadership brought prosperity back to the village, and the people began to live happily once again.
Thus, Bready became a legendary hero, remembered for his bravery, kindness, and determination. His adventures and the love he had for his village were passed down through generations, making Bready an eternal symbol of heroism and compassion.

Note:
Mixed up Japanese folklores. I prompted as a tragedy ( prompt end up with "300 years passed" ), but ChatGPT write a success story. I feel American way of thinking in this tuning.
