Second, the legend:

1. Legend has it that there is a shark girl living in Nanhai, China. They are good at weaving a kind of silk as thin as cicada's wings and as slippery as ice, which is called cicada. Shark girl's market is called a mirage, which is what people usually call a mirage. Shark girls often exchange products with each other in Shanghai. If humans wear clothes made of ragweed, they can walk into a mirage and have fun with ragweed girls. Legend has it that the shark girl is a servant of the moon goddess Chang 'e, and she was punished for doing something wrong and knitting in the sea. Every full moon night, they often stand on steep rocks, looking at the moon from a distance, crying sadly, and the falling tears are pearls.

2. A sea clam was struggling and crawling in the vast sea, and her chest was inadvertently stabbed by the golden sand on the shore. Since then, there has been some lingering pain in her heart, which has accumulated in her chest for many years. In order to survive, forget and find happiness, she swam to the depths of the sea.

I don't know when. That year, a mussel grew up quietly day by day and cried day and night in the depths of the sea. I wonder when she heard that there was sunshine, sky and green grass on the coast ... I don't know that day. This mussel climbed and climbed, for the sunshine, the blue sky and the green grass on the land, and finally climbed up the coast, lying on the beach by the sea, bathed in golden sunshine, looking up at the white clouds in the blue sky and on the green grass in the distant seaside park.

I don't know why, this clam shell inadvertently stung its arm. She began to cry, and her tears dried up and flowed. I don't know how many times, how many years, how many tears have been shed, so mussels live and live painfully. ...

I don't know that day, but this mussel suddenly felt something hard in her arms. What is that? She asked her brothers and sisters, but they didn't know. She asked her young friends again, and they didn't know what it was. Later, she asked her elders in the sea, and a wise man told her: "Our mussel family has always lived in the depths of the sea and never climbed to the coast. The coast is a dangerous place where there are countless enemies. Anyone who is provoked by any enemy at the seaside will have endless troubles and pains in life. Maybe you were stabbed by an enemy named sand. "

Later, this mussel's mother told her, "Son, it is a sin for us mussels to go to the seaside. We must use our soft bodies to fight the pain of this hard sand when we have been there. Son, this is fate! My child is in bad karma. "

I don't know that day, this clam shell felt that the hard thing in its body grew up slowly, and tried desperately to squeeze it out of its body, but it was as strong as a root, and it was already integrated with its own body, and tears were all spilled in its arms. Slowly, she grew old and there were no more tears.

I don't know how long it took, but this mussel closed its eyes. I don't know if it's the sea breeze or the tide, or what. She was washed to the beach by the waves, to the beach where she had been infatuated. I don't know how long I have been silent. A naughty boy found this huge mussel at the seaside and brought her back. At night, the child's mother opened the mussel, and a shining lamp lit up the fisherman. The child smiled and saw the milky light and holy light, and the child was immersed in fairy-tale happiness.

Some people say that pearls are the tears of mussels, and mussels are dedicated to human beings with lonely and painful tears.
