Читать книгу The Attack of the Giant Stink Bugs - Larry Bennett - Страница 6

Far away in the middle of the dense forest, something was happening

that would change Ru-lan's life forever.

As it happened, Su-Ling had a sister. Her name was Ya-Mei, The

Bamboo Spirit. Ya-Mei looked just like her sister, but she was as good

as Su-Ling was evil. 200 years earlier, Su-Ling had gotten very angry

at Ya-Mei. In a fury, she had trapped Ya-Mei in the body of a rabbit.

When he'd been Su-Ling's prisoner, Ru-lan had cared for the little

rabbit, not knowing who she was.

Now that Su-Ling was gone, Ya-Mei was recovering from the spell and

turning back into a woman. Her growth ripped apart the bamboo cage

that had for so long been her home and her prison.
