The Long-Haired Girl

Dong Legend of the Spring

She reveals a hidden spring to save her village and is rescued by a banyan fairy from the mountain god’s doom.

Long-Haired Girl discovers a hidden spring that could save her drought-stricken village, but the mountain god forbids her to tell. She reveals the secret anyway and is punished to lie forever beneath a rock tied to her hair. An old man who is the spirit of a banyan tree takes her place as a stone, freeing her — and her long hair becomes the waterfall that waters the village forever.
