The White-Haired Boy

    A boy stood, head tilted back, mouth wide. He sang with the voice of a hundred angels. The sky opened and mystical beings poured out to sing with him. He sang and sang, his white hair flowing over his shoulders. He sang until his voice could continue no more and then sank to his knees in the grass and wept. He wept for the songs he would never sing until he had not one tear left.

    Those who had sang with him returned to where they belonged leaving the white-haired boy alone. He looked up and saw they were gone and wept again until his tears caused a great ocean to flood the land. He was drowned but his legend lived on.
    The boy with the white hair was never forgotten as those below heard whispers from heaven of his great song.
