The Night of the River Festival
Ryu goes to stay with his grandpa. As they have dinner together, they hear the sound of flutes and taiko drums outside, and his grandpa says it must be coming from some festival or other. Ryu wakes up in the middle of the night and again hears the flutes and drums, so he opens the back door and discovers a festival is happening right
there, complete with lots of stalls selling food and other festival items. A mask maker gives him a frog mask, and then he enjoys something to drink together with an old man he meets as they watch a dance by crayfish and frogs dressed in yukata. Ryu also puts on his frog mask and joins in the dance, and the old man, who has now turned into a turtle, tells him that there used to be a river here. The night of the river festival is magical, and the sight of all the creatures dancing is beautiful. (Doi)
