He swapped the straw for two mandarines then swapped those for two rolls of silk and so on until he eventually swapped a horse for a house and land belonging to a Samurai who had been summoned urgently to the Emperor. Yohei and his new wife threw a party for all the villagers to celebrate their good fortune.(Source: From Book)
