Deep in the green bamboo grove, the old cutter worked with his sharp blade. He loved the quiet rustle of leaves and the smell of damp earth. One morning, he noticed a stalk that glowed with a strange, golden light. He carefully split the thick bamboo, wondering what magic lay inside. To his great surprise, he found a tiny, beautiful child sitting within the hollow. Her eyes sparkled like the morning dew, and her skin seemed to glow as soft as the moon.
