Tale of the White Magnolia Flower
Korean International Springboard, Chau, Kirsten - 13
Sparkling and brilliant white flower,
Story of the three sisters and the Dragon King’s power,
Sea salt locked up in a great store room,
Cut open by the sisters to save the villagers from sickness and gloom,
All the salt spilled in the sea,
Raged the Dragon King to turn the sisters into Yulan trees.
White Yulan is the middle sister with refreshing scent,
Enjoyed deeply by the Chinese descent.
