Jii-san-- old man
Baa-san-- old woman
Otogibanashi-- folk tale
This is very similar to another jii-san/baa-san story called "Tsuru no Ongaeshi" (literally, "The Crane's Return Favor"), in which the jii-san frees a poor crane that has a leg caught in a trap, and is visited by a young woman soon after that who creates the most incredible fabrics for him and his wife.
