Moonbright.

In course of time a daughter named Moonlight was born to them,
pleasing as the moonlight to the eyes of men. When she grew up,
she went one day in spring with her servants to a festival in the
garden.

There she was seen by a Brahman youth named Master-
mind, the son of Rich, who had come there to the festival. When
he saw her plucking flowers with one arm uplifted, he went mad
with love. His heart was taken captive by the gay maiden, and he
was no longer master of his mind.

He thought: "Is she the goddess of love, plucking the spring
flowers in person? Or is she a forest goddess, come here to
worship the spring-time?"

Then the princess saw him, like a new god of love incarnate. The
moment her eyes fell on him, she fell in love, forgetting her
flowers and even her own limbs. While they looked at each other,
lost in love like people in a picture, a great wail of anguish arose.
They lifted their heads to learn what the matter was, and just then
an elephant that had broken his chain, maddened by the scent of
another mad elephant, came by, crushing the people in his path. He
had thrown off his driver and the ankus hung from him as he ran.
And everyone fled in terror.

But the youth Master-mind ran up in a hurry and took the princess
in his arms. And with a mixture of fear and love and modesty she
half embraced him as he carried her far out of the elephant's path.
