Script
Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and in the mountain there was a temple. In the temple, an old monk was telling a story to a young monk. The old monk said: "Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and in the mountain there was a temple. In the temple lived two monks, one old and one young. Every night, moonlight would spill across the stone steps in front of the temple, and the old monk would always tell the young monk one touching story after another. In those stories, there were kind princesses, brave princes, and magical spells."
