Description:
A poor but honest man is rewarded by the forest's inhabitants with a magical "Mortar of Treasures" after rescuing an elderly man from a log bridge. He uses it to become the wealthiest person in his village. However, his greedy brother steals the mortar and sails to a remote island, intending to hoard all its riches. While asking for salt, he fails to stop the endless flow, and his boat sinks under the weight. The mortar is lost to the sea, continuously pouring salt into the ocean to this day.
