“Look,” said the moon to the tree. “Look at what the water has painted for you.”
“I see it,” said the tree to the moon. “It is an image of myself in the water.”
“I do this because I love you,” said the water to the tree. “I have always been in you, and now you are also in me.”
“And now we may be together,” said the tree.
“Will you dance with me?” asked the water.
“I want to, but there is no wind tonight. How can I dance with you?” asked the tree.
The water replied, “On your branches, I see droplets from the recent rain. Let them fall on me, and you will see us dance together.”
Obedient to his lover’s wishes, the tree allowed the droplets to fall. To his amazement, he saw himself shimmering and dancing in the water’s reflection, and the surface of the water rippling away to stillness.
Thus were the tree and the water brought together.
Thus do they love each other, even to this day.
