Miraculous Crane

An inn-keeper, northern China, poor area, few travellers.

Young man arrived at inn, drew beautiful drawings on paper, no money but landlord is generous with food and drink.

When man leaves, draws crane on inn wall. Claps hands, room filled with music, crane steps out of picture, dances to amazement of all in inn.
"But, landlord, crane will only do this once a day - remember."

Business booms as news of miraculous crane spreads.

Rich man arrives one night, orders landlord to make crane dance.
Landlord tries to refuse - wait till next day.
Rich man demands crane dance now - threatens trouble!
Terrified, landlord claps hands.

Room filled with noise, crane totters around floor.
Door opens, young man, flute, his music calms noise.
He and crane disappear into the darkness - never seen again.
