The Lump

In the village of Kobu-Tori, an old man with a lump on his face seeks shelter inside a hollow tree during a storm. When he wakes, he discovers the forest is now filled with magical beings. He dances with the sprites, and in return, they heal his deformity. Returning home, he tells another villager who also has a growth on his face. Will these mysterious creatures grant the same kindness to this man?
