Hi! I'm Yeh-Shen. My life has been pretty rough ever since my parents died. I've had to live with my stepmother and stepsister who aren't very nice to me. Luckily, I have my best friend, who is a fish that I caught and raised.
That does not matter. I am here to tell you about the great power that your fish possesses.
Yes, but your fish's bones are filled with a powerful spirit. Whenever you are in serious need, they will give you what you need. But do not waste their gift.
Ah, my poor child.
Today, I came home to find my fish DEAD! I was so upset. I had no idea what had happened. Then all of a sudden a man showed up
But, sir, my fish...he's... he's dead.
Who are you?
Yay!
The festival is coming up soon! We will go, but, Yeh-Shen, you have to stay here to watch over the house.
Okay :(
I was very sad that I wasn't allowed to go to the festival, so i went to my fish's bones and he gave me a beautiful blue dress and gold slipper. So, I left for the festival.
I will go check on her just in case.
Mother, don't you think that girl resembles Yeh-Shen.
Later in the night, my stepsister almost recognised me. So, I ran back to the house. when I got back,I realized that I had lost one of my slippers while running. Now the fish spirit won't talk to me.
Who is that beautiful girl? I must have her as my wife.
When the slipper was brought to my town, my stepmother would not allow me to go try it on. So, I came up with a plan.
The following week, the king took the slipper to each town, trying to find the owner.
Shall I seize her, my king?
Every girl in the kingdom tried on the slipper, but since my feet are unusually small, it didn't fit on anyone's foot.
I snuck into town in the middle of the night and took the slipper back.
No, I think that is her.
Later, the king followed me home. I hadn't noticed and was completely surprised when I saw him on my doorstep.
He asked me to try on the golden slipper and, well, the rest is history.
