Dear Adi, I love serendipity! I just returned from a performance in IL. One of the tales I shared was the story of Chien Nang. It can be found in Charms and Changelings by Ruth Manning Sanders. There is also a wonderful online adaptation by Texas storyteller, Mary Grace Ketner. It is a beautiful, poignant story of family, love, loss and reconciliation. Mary Grace is very generous with her permission to share her adaptation. If the children in your show are very young it probably won't be appropriate but you can be the judge when you read it. Go to Mary Grace's site at: Chien Nag http://talesandlegends.net/Chien.html to read her version. Good luck.
