[Chapter 2. The Teaching of the Gods]

　　In time， the queen gave birth to another son， who was named Prince Moon. Shortly after both children began walking about， their mother suddenly became very sick， and died.

　　To help him look after his playful children， the king found a princess to become his new queen. In a few years， this queen gave birth to a beautiful bright little boy. He was named Prince Sun. Since the king was so happy， he wanted to please his queen， and reward her for bringing up all three children. So he promised to grant her one wish. The queen considered， and said， Thank-you my lord， I will make my wish at some time in the future.

　　As time went on， the three princes grew into wonderful playful youngsters. The queen saw that Prince Goodspcakcr was intelligent and understanding. She thought， If these two older princes remain in the palace， my son， Prince Sun， will never get a chance to be king. Therefore， I must do something to make him the next king.

　　One day， when the king was in a good mood， the queen respectfully approached him and reminded him of the promised wish. He was very happy and said， Ask whatever you want! The queen said， Oh my husband and king， grant that after the course of your life is over， my son， Prince Sun， will be the next king.

　　The king was shocked by this request. He became angry and said， My first two children are like bright stars! How can I give the kingdom to my third son? All the people will blame me. That cannot be done! The queen kept silent.
