They did not know that the beautiful dark blue lake was possessed by a water demon! He was permitted by his demon ruler to eat any beings that he could convince to go into the water. There was also one condition. He could not eat anyone who knew the answer to the question, What is the teaching of the gods?
When Prince Sun arrived at the shore of the lake, being dry and dirty and tired, he went directly into the water without any investigation. Suddenly the water demon rose up from under the water and captured him.
He asked him, What is the teaching of the gods? Prince Sun said, I know the answer to that! The sun and the moon are the teachings of the gods. You dont know the teaching of the gods, so you belong to me!, said the water demon. Then he pulled Prince Sun under the water and locked him up in a deep cave.
Since Prince Sun was delayed, Prince Goodspeaker asked the second brother, Prince Moon, to go down to the lake and bring back water in lotus leaves. When he got there, he too went directly into the water without examining. Again the water demon appeared, grabbed him, and asked, What is the teaching of the gods? Prince Moon said, I know the answer to that! The four directions North, East, South and West these are the teachings of the gods. You dont know the teachingof the gods, so you belong to me!, replied the water demon. Then he locked up Prince Moon in the same under water cave with Prince Sun.
