Affable shepherd named Jiang, who truly enjoyed playing the lute. Jiang's instrument was simple and plain, crafted from the wood of a native bamboo tree. Despite its
modest appearance, the lute brought liang much joy. He created appealing music that
lured the other villagers out to listen to him. Having an audience made Jiang feel
accepted, and he quickly formed an important bond with the poor villagers.
?Chao, however, didn't like Jiang. He hated Jiang's lute playing and the way the
villagers admired Jiang. Although liang was an excellent person and a hard worker,
Chao fired liang from his job and smashed the lute into pieces
3Miserable and brokenhearted, Jiang hung his head as he walked through the forest.
Good fortune soon came to him, however, when he bumped into a compassionate old
man who felt sorry for Jiang's loss.
*The elderly man carved a new lute for Jiang and taught him to refine his playing technique. Soon, liang played better than ever
before. Villagers and woodland creatures from all over came to hear him perform.
5Chao heard gossip of the woodland animals and decided that he wanted to capture a flaxen white rabbit with a spotted head.
He promised his farm and his fortune to the son who could capture the specific rabbit for him
The sons had never laid eyes on such a rabbit before, and they didn't know where to find one, but because they knew the rabbit
would bring them riches, they decided to search for it.
