I will take all these clothes to the river and wash them." Soon she was on the river bank, washing, just then something came down the river and caught among her clean clothes. The old woman pulled it out. It was a huge peach. "I will take this home for my husband's supper" she said. When the old man came home his wife said: "Just see, here is a peach for your supper, which came floating down the river to me." The old man said: "Bring me a knife, that I may cut it in two, for you shall have half of it." When they opened the peach, there within it lay a tiny baby boy, as round and fat and smiling as could be. Because of his first cradle they called him "Peach Darling," and loved him as a child sent from the gods. As he grew tall and strong they found that he was indeed wonderful.

Electric Jade- correct, team wins 1000 points Door 2 - Peach Darling When he became a young man he heard of the terrible monster, Akandoji. Years before, this monster had stolen a great deal of gold and silver from the villagers. It was said that he was so terrible that no one dared go against him, to try to recover the riches. Peach Darling said: "I will go and fight this monster. Who will go with me?" But no one dared go, so he decided to go alone. His parents were proud of their brave son, but their hearts ached to think of his going alone. His mother asked his father to grind her some millet seed and she made their son some dumplings. Peach Darling put them into his pouch and started off on his journey. As he was going along a dog came up and sniffed hungrily at the dumplings. Peach Darling thought, "This poor dog is hungry, and I can do with one less dumpling. I am strong and shall not mind hunger." So he gave a dumpling to the dog.

"They must enjoy the storm," he thought, for they were singing and shouting most happily. They did not sound quite like men, but more like the rushing of the wind and the hurried swaying of the trees. They kindled a fire which leaped up in little sharp tongues of flame, for all the world like lightning. Each flash lighted up the forest, and then he saw that his jolly companions were the Storm Spirits. They sat in a circle around the fire and began their song. If you could but hear it!

When the next full moon comes they will send for me." Her father was sad indeed to hear this, but answered: "Do you think that I will let anyone come and take you away? I shall go to the Emperor himself and ask his aid." "It will be of no use. No one can keep me when the time comes," she answered sadly. Question: In what city is the ‘monster mountain hell’ located? ----------------- Purple Pony Tail Team team: correct, team wins 1000 points Door 09 - The Branch of the Jewel Tree "Sometimes we sailed on with a gentle wind, and sometimes we floated with no breeze to move us for days and weeks. "At times fierce storms arose. The waves rose mountain high. Wild winds whipped away our sails. We were driven and hurled to unknown lands. "Again we saw great rocks on which the waves lashed themselves in showers of white foam. "For days and weeks we had no food to eat and no water to drink. The great green waves lapping around us made us long for water all the more, but we could not drink the salt sea water.
