Description: a Chinese story of a poor weaver woman with three sons, two selfish and one loving. When her most precious handmade tapestry is blown away on a magical wind, two sons grieve over the lost sale value, and the third grieves with her simply because it was hers. One by one, she sends her sons to retrieve it, but a sorceress waylays the first two with gold. The third son succeeds, despite icy rivers and walls of fire. The tapestry then becomes real, and mother and son enter its paradise-like world, while the two greedy sons return as beggars in the end.
