Once upon a time, about two-hundred years ago in China there was a mandarin who lived in a palace. He had a daughter named Koong-se. Koong-se fell in love with a boy named Chang. The mandarin wanted Koong-se to marry a rich duke so he built a high fence around the palace. Chang disguised himself as a servant and snuck in. But just as they were escaping the mandarin saw them and sent out servants to get them. Luckily they escaped to an island. In some time, guards came and killed Chang. Koong-se was so sad she lit the house on fire while she was in it! The gods where nice and they transformed them into a pair of doves. From then on they were never to be seen again.
