Loawnu the wise woman

Once upon a time a long time ago in Xia times there was a young wise woman named Loawnu. She was very young and wise to be the village wise woman. Still the people of the village trusted her. If you had a problem everyone knew you took it to Loawnu.

 

One day the sky overhead darkened. The wind picked up and blew wildly several young children ran up the hill to Loawnu home dragging a basket behind them. The basket was  overflowing with the remainings of blue flowers that had been yanked by the wind from the earth.

 

“The sky has fallen!” they screamed at Loawnu

“The sky has fallen!”

The children knew this was a very bad time for this to happen. Their village was the selected by Mary athens to host this year’s Spring festival. It was quite a honor. The village would be disgraced without the sky. The children were too young to find husband’s and wife’s at the festival. But their older brothers and sister had been talking of nothing else.

 

Loawnu sent the children back down the hill to search for all the prices of the sky. They tried their best but the children were worried. The wind had blown everything everywhere. What if they missed some pieces?

The next day the children ran outside with great relief they looked up at a bright blue sky. That night when they looked up at the sky they could not believe their eyes. It had always been dark at night. Loawnu had patched the sky with bright twinkling lights just in time for the Spring festival.
