Ajisaka went directly to the king’s palace.“I am willing to be your next meal. However, I have a request”, said AjiSaka to the king. “Whatever you please, young man, I will grant your request”, the king replied. “Before you eat me, grant me some land. Just enough length of my own head cloth”, continued AjiSaka. “Come, Young Man. Let’s measure your headcloth so that I can have my meal and you can have your land”, agreed the king.
