Chapter 2
For forty-nine days Tchang trudged across deserts and over mountains until he came to a dark forest.His bread had run out long ago and he was so tired and hungry, he could hardly walk.
Eventually, he reached a tiny house. In the yard, a lovely young girl was drawing water from a well.'Hello, there!' Tchang called. She smiled at him, but she did not reply.
An old lady appeared at the door of the house.'I see you've met my granddaughter, Ai-li,' she called.'Please don't mind that she didn't greet you.Since the day she was born, she hasn't spoken a word. It makes me very sad.'
Then she looked closely at Tchang. 'You look worn out! Come inside and have a bite to eat.'
That evening Tchang sat by the fire.He told the pair that he was on his way to ask the Great Wizard of the West a question.
'Good for you!' cried the old woman. 'While you're there, could you ask him why Ai-li can't talk?'
The next day, Tchang set off once again towards the West.
