However, his jealous wife, O-Ban-san, drives the sparrow away, forcing O-Jih-san and his animal friends to undertake a fantastic journey. While searching for the sparrow, Suzume-chan, they discover that she is really a fairy princess! They travel to her magical kingdom, where she rewards them for their kindness with a feast and a box of treasure, telling them not to open it until safely home. After seeing the fabulous treasure, O-Ban-san wants her own box. She gets her wish, but she also gets more than she ever bargained for!
