2. What are the legends of water lilies?

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a village far away on the mountain. The river beside the village suddenly dried up one day, and all the villagers began to go out to look for water. One of the girls, while looking for water, found a fish stuck in the mud in the dry riverbed. It was a very beautiful goldfish. The goldfish suddenly praised the girl for her clear eyes, and told her that if she was willing to visit it every day, she would get a jar of clean water. So the girl came to fetch water every day. As time went by, the girl and the goldfish fell in love with each other and they secretly got married. The villagers eventually learned about this and believed that the goldfish had cast a spell on the girl, so they locked the girl up and killed the goldfish. When the girl learned that the goldfish was dead, she was heartbroken. She died in the river holding the goldfish's body and turned into water lilies.
