With her gift in hand, Ku-nan vaulted upon his pony and continued his way northwards. As he trotted along the road he found his way blocked by a broad river. Suddenly the water rose and formed great billows. A huge turtle emerged and swam to the river bank. My lad, it croaked, you had better turn back. Youll never get across this river.
Oh, surely, replied Ku-nan. All difficulties can be overcome.
Oh, well then, brave lad, the turtle said, please help me. My left eye aches so badly, I want to have it taken out and replaced with a new one. Please, help me, take it out for me.
All right, Ill help you.
As soon as Ku-nan looked in his hands. The eye had turned into a pearl! A glowing, flawless precious pearl. After looking at it Ku-nans eye-sight became very sharp, he could even see a group of yurts in the far distance. Ku-nan then remounted his pony. As though understanding its masters intention, the beast plunged into the water. What a miracle! No sooner had the water touched the precious pearl than it divided to form a transparent wall on either side, leaving a dry path through the center. Ku-nan rode across to the opposite bank of the river without further difficulty. The water then flowed its usual course as if nothing had ever happened.
Ku-nan soon reached the yurts he had seen in the distance. An old shepherd was softly weeping there. He was a pitiful sight. Having dismounted from his pony, Ku-nan addressed him. Grandpa, what makes you so sad? he asked. Please tell me, perhaps I can be of some help to you.
