At the end of one year there was a huge flooding and the mother died.
Gonzaburo took the flute of his mother and went to find river 笛吹川 Fuefukigawa,

So he threw himself into the river and died.
The villagers found the body of Gonzaburo and burried him.
After that, the sound of the flute was heard constantly.
