The ring in the belly of the fish

 


The ring in the belly of the fish

 

Agudemba told another story to Dawa who was leaning next to him. That is a folk legend spread in the Himalayas.

King Dufu Shanda of the Pulu tribe went out hunting. In order to chase a deer, he came to the nunnery of Ganpo monk in the Himalayas.

Brother Gampa had an adopted daughter here. She was born to the goddess Menaka and monk Vishupa Mitra. Her name was Shakungdala. She was beautiful and lovable.

King Dufu Shanda and Xia Gengdala fell in love at first sight. They fell in love with each other and finally made a private engagement for life. However, King Duf Shanda had to return to the capital, so before returning to the capital, he took off the ring on his hand and gave it to Xia Gengdala as a souvenir.

After King Duf Shanda left, Xia Gengdala thought about only King Duf Shanda every day and night. Even the visit of the angry monk Dabasas turned a deaf ear. The monk lost his temper and thought that Shakengdala was extremely rude to him. He cursed: "King Dufu Shanda must forget this bitch!"

However, under the mediation of many friends of the monk Dabasas, a condition was added to this spell: that when King Duf Shanda saw the ring as a commemoration, he would think of her.

Since King Dufu Shanda returned to the capital, there has been no news from him. Shakengdala was pregnant with King Dufu Shanda's child. She didn't know what to do, so she had to live with an old woman in her adoptive father's thatched hut. Later, she left the hut and went to the palace, but King Dufu Shanda had lost his memory and did not remember that she was a child. who.

She wanted to show the commemorative ring to King Dufu Shanda, but on the way there, she lost the ring in the pond. King Dufu Shanda no longer remembered her and only thought that she was here to cause trouble. After scolding her, Xia Gengdala could only leave sadly. But when she left, her whole person was shrouded in light, which gradually faded away as she walked away.

Agudemba continued:

There was a fisherman who was selling a special ring taken out of the belly of a fish on the road to the capital. He was questioned by the guards because the name of King Dufu Shanda was engraved on the ring.

The guard took the ring and presented it to King Duf Shanda. When King Duf Shanda saw the ring, he immediately recovered his memory. He regretted very much that he had scolded Xia Gengdala and forced her to leave in despair. King Fushanda was troubled and didn't know what to do.

At this time, the messenger of God Indra from heaven appeared, and Daoming wanted to use the power of King Duf Shanda to conquer the devil.

Soon, King Duf Shanda finally conquered the devil. When he was driving his chariot across the sky, he suddenly found a boy playing with a little lion in the Black Magic Mountain. This child was Balada, the son of King Dufu Shanda and Sharigendala. At this time Xia Gengdala also came, and the two finally happily reunited.

The story was not long, but Dawa, who was nestling next to Agudumba, was fascinated by it.

After Agudengba finished telling Dawa a story, he sang a snowy love song "Prayer of Love":

 

I stand under the high snow-capped mountains

I pray to the blue sky,

Thank God for giving me happiness

Even though I have nothing, I still have love

 

There are countless powerful people in the world

There are as many kings among men as there are floating clouds

But who has ever received true love?

In their eyes love is a game

 

God let you walk into my arms

You are already the only one in my life

I want nothing but you

I will share all your sorrows

 

If I turn gray one day

My soul is still with you

I will ask God to bless you

I wish you all happiness

  1. Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fables makes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
