“Who are you?” the old man said, “How do you dare lying before my home?”
“I am looking for my husband, God, please, tell me what I should do” said the woman
“I am the God-trees, I can feel you love your husband very much. I know your husband is alive and he is in an island” said the man. He took out a gem in his pocket gave her and added: “if you put this gem into you your mouth, you could fly across the sea to see your husband. Remember my words, you must shut your mouth to keep the gem not falling down.” Then the man disappeared.
