Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl named Yeh-Shen, but her family died so she now lives with her step-mother and step-sister and is treated unfairly.
Yeh-Shen, go grab some firewood. But wait, leave your dirty jacket here.
Yes, mother.
At the ball, Yeh-Shen's step-sister almost recognized Yeh-Shen, so Yeh-Shen had to leave quickly, but while she ran away, she lost one of her slippers.
Mother, does that girl not represent our Yeh-Shen?
I must leave!
Poor Yeh-Shen's fish was killed by her stepmother, but there was a powerful spirit within the bones.
Child, there is a powerful spirit inside your fish. But do not waste its gifts.
Soon, the ball was coming up and Yeh-Shen was very busy. Then, she asked if she could go to the ball too but her step-mother said no.
Oh bones, I wish I had clothes fit for the ball.
You may go, but do not lose the shoes.
After the shoe was found, the king was trying to find the girl whom it belonged to. So, at the darkest of night, Yeh-Shen came out and got the slipper, but the king and his guards saw her.
We should follow her.
Now I can finally return both slippers to my fish.
Yes, of course I will marry you.
So the king and Yeh-Shen got married, Yeh-Shen left her step-family behind, and she and her husband lived happily ever after, and as for her step-mother and step-sister they were crushed by stones.
