"Of course I do." The grandson says. "Grandpa's stories always have beginnings and endings."

　　"This place was deserted when they first came here. Everywhere, there were weeds taller than people, concealing wolves, snakes, tigers and leopards. They built a thatched hut, cleared some ground to farm, hunted and fished, raised chickens and dogs. A year later, Grass Fragrance gave birth to a set of twins, boys. And after another year, she had another pair of twins, two girls."

　　 ...... Grass Fragrance lost the ability to have babies after she ate the eggs of colour-ball fish by mistake. She worked hard day and night, spinning yarn, soaking flax, and growing vegetables. She gradually became wan and sallow. Her eyes lost their clarity. The boy grew into a strong man who devoted himself entirely to working the land, and he neglected his wife and children. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years went by. The two pairs of twins grew up. They actually made love to each other in secret, giggling all the while. When the father discovered what the twins had done, he took the hunting rifle and shot one girl and one boy dead on the spot. The other boy and the other girl who survived hid themselves behind their mother. Grass Fragrance, while weeping, tried to speak up for the children ... But he swore, "I'll kill you two, dirty swine raised by a horse!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a great noise, as though the earth were heaving. Rolling, red smoke rose from the ground and bore away that horse as red as fire ... "Ma! Ma!" 4 The boy and the girl held each other and cried out. The man immediately regretted what he had said. As the red horse was borne up in the smoke, its teary eyes were filled with hatred that pierced his heart like an arrow. That very day, he turned from a sturdy man into a dark, bony living corpse. He wandered from place to place, singing the song about the Grey Wolf.

　　"The Grey Wolf lays square eggs,
　　 It barks like a dog and flies in a cloud of flame.
　　 It carries the panacea herb in its beak,
　　 And makes its nest in the tree of fragrant musk.
　　 It is not just a bird; it is divine.
　　 If you catch sight of it, you shall live forever."
