Story:

Long, long ago, in a river bend surrounded by green mountains, there was a beautiful small island. On this island lived a lovely maiden.

One day, a young man was rowing his boat past the island. He heard the maiden's beautiful and melodious singing, which captivated him. Lying in his boat, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, his mind full of thoughts about her.

He then devised many ways to approach the maiden, and eventually, they became husband and wife.
