“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.
The woman putted the gem into her mouth, closed her eyes, heard the air through her ears, and could feel her feet out of the ground. A short time later, she felt her feet landed again, she opened her eyes and realized she was standing on a strange beachside. She looked around and saw her husband was lying in the beach. They had taken a conversation for minutes. Then they decided come back their home. The man had hold on his wife’s waist then they flied.
