Rakugo Story Summary:
A long time ago there was a man deep in debt. He was hated by his wife and his life was miserable. He decided to end his journey and as he tried "Death" spoke to him. It proposed a deal and said that he should become a doctor. When he became a doctor if death stood by the patient's feet the patient would recover. However, if death stood by the patient's head there was no saving that patient. Seeing that death was by the first patient's feet he said a chant and the patient recovered. He became rich and famous through this deal with death.
The man spent his newfound wealth like a demon.
His greed overtook him and he soon found himself in debt once again. When a very rich patient came promising wealth, he found that that patient was doomed to die. So, when death wasn't looking, he spun the bed 180 degrees so that death would be by the patient's feet and not the head.

Death was livid. In its fury, it dragged him to hell where hundreds of candles were displayed - each representing a human life soon to be extinguished.
