In ancient China there lived a wealthy Mandarin, whose lovely daughter fell in love with Chang, her father’s secre- tasy. To prevent their marriage the Mandarin imprisoned her in a summer house, where she nevertheless man- aged to communicate with her lover. ‘When the willow tree blossomed they eloped to Chang’s island home, with the angry father in hot pursuit. Their happiness was short-lived, however, for a rejected lover burned their home and they perished in the flames, but from the ashes arose two white doves, which still hover over the scene of their happiness.
