**The Background of the Tale:**
This tale is considered to be the world oldest written fictional story that first appeared about 1000 years ago. As mysterious as the story itself, the author is not known. A century later a new version of the story was told in "Otogizoushi", Japan's oldest compilation of fables, again with no recognition of the author.

**Your version of a sequel:**
Princess spent many many months asking her father the moon Emperor for __a__ permission to go back to the earth to visit the old couple. The Emperor's reply was always "no". Then one day, she heard beautiful music but she couldn't tell where it was coming from. When she looked down upon the earth from where she was, she saw the earth Emperor having his musicians console his broken sole and the old couples'. It gave her more tears. Seeing her daughter crying through day and night, the moon Emperor finally agreed to her that she could go back to the earth one more time. His warning was, " Once you leave the earth this time, you'll have no chance to revisit there ever again." Back on the earth, those happy faces around her made her decide not to go back to the moon this time. She married the earth Emperor and lived happily ever after. (Students' version will be much more simple than this sample and will be written in very simple Japanese.)
