Once upon a time, in a quiet mountain village, a poor but kind couple discovered a glowing jade fawn resting by a crystal stream. The magical deer, with sparkling eyes and a gentle heart, brought warmth and blessings wherever it went—making rice grow tall and healing the sick. But when a greedy official tried to seize it, the little deer sacrificed itself, turning into a shining jade mountain that enriched the whole land. Its memory lived on as a lesson of kindness over greed.
