The Sun God falls in love with a Dragon Princess and comes to Earth to be with her. After he leaves, she lays three eggs. When they are close to hatching, she asks the Crow to take a message to the Sun God and tell him that the children will soon hatch. The Sun God is thrilled, and sends the Crow back with a huge ruby so the Dragon Princess can buy a kingdom. But on his way back, the Crow is swindled out of the ruby.
