00:33What you are about to see are love stories from China and the North American Arctic.
00:38Like the familiar story Beauty and the Beast, these two tales feature unlikely couples made
00:44up of a human and a non-human creature seeking true love and happiness despite many obstacles
00:51along the way.
00:55Long ago, in ancient China, there lived a sorcerer, the lord of Sichuan province.
01:03He was an evil man with the power to turn people into stone.
01:08He would cast his spells upon anyone who angered him.
01:12Now living in his palace was a young serving maid named Lin Lee.
01:16Lin Lee's only job was to care for the sorcerer's favorite parrot.
01:20A magical bird, so rare that it could speak with a human voice.
01:28One day, the parrot found Lin Lee weeping.
01:33Little sister, what is wrong?
01:37Why are you so sad and unhappy?
01:40I'm afraid that because I'm just a poor servant girl, I'll never find a husband.
01:47No, no, don't cry.
01:51You have taken good care of me.
01:55And now, I shall help you.
01:59Without another word, the parrot flew out the window.
02:03Oh!
02:04Not far from the sorcerer's palace, there lived a handsome young man named Liang Su.
02:10Liang Su was a scholar, and he was rich.
02:13But he was also lonely and unhappy, for he was still unmarried and afraid that he would
02:19never find the right woman to be his wife.
02:22Oh, no, no.
02:24No.
02:25No.
02:27No.
02:28No, no, no, no, no.
02:30What?
02:32You'll never find a wife that way.
02:35A parrot that talks?
02:37Who are you?
02:38That's not important.
02:40But if you follow me, I will lead you to the maiden who will be your wife.
02:49Liang Su followed the parrot back to the palace.
02:52Beautiful, isn't she?
02:55Yes.
02:56She is truly beautiful.
02:58Ling Li did not speak a word, but when they looked into each other's eyes, they knew they
03:03had found true love.
03:06Every day from then on, Liang Su wrote love poems to the maidservant.
03:11And every day, the parrot carried the love poems to Lin Li.
03:15Oh.
03:16One day, the parrot did not come to Liang Su's window.
03:20A second day went by, and then another.
03:23And Liang Su wondered what was wrong.
03:27One night, Liang Su had a dream.
03:29He dreamed that the parrot was returning.
03:31But in his dream, the parrot changed.
03:36Don't be afraid.
03:39I am the parrot.
03:42My sister, Lin Li, whom you love, is also not as she seems.
03:51What, what do you mean?
03:54Long ago, because of her beauty and good deeds, my sister was turned from the parrot into a
04:05human.
04:05Oh, please, tell me where she is.
04:08Oh.
04:10Please, tell me.
04:11I must know what has happened.
04:13Three days ago, her master caught her reading the love poems you wrote.
04:20In a jealous rage, he turned her to stone.
04:24I tried to come to you, but I didn't make it.
04:29You're lying.
04:30I don't believe you.
04:31You must believe me.
04:33Only you can save, Lin Li.
04:36If you truly love her, hurry.
04:40She lies in a secret chamber in the shadow of a peach tree.
04:46Hurry, Liang Su, hurry.
04:49Only you can save her.
04:53What?
04:53Oh.
04:54Liang Su woke up trembling with fear.
04:56There was only one peach tree near his village.
05:00And as fast as he could, he hurried there.
05:04It is true.
05:06It is all true.
05:08Now I will be lonely forever.
05:12Lin Li, I love you.
05:14I love you with all my heart.
05:19Liang Su's love for Lin Li broke the sorcerer's evil spell.
05:23And once again, she was transformed from stone to life.
05:29From parrot to human.
05:32Oh.
05:37Lin Li married Liang Su.
05:39And they lived in happiness all their lives.
05:43And whenever they saw a parrot in a cage, they would buy it and set the parrot free.
05:49Then it's a place.
05:51Where are you?21.
