One day the emperor decided to have a celebration for the crane that had blessed and prospered his kingdom for nearly 1,000 days and invited all the people in the land to see her dance.

Everyone laughed, ate and danced the entire night away, but then all grew quiet as the crane descended to the center of the hall to dance. Ya danced with all her heart as spread her shimmering wings with delight; her dance was the most beautiful dance anyone had ever seen.
