The Saga of Windwagon Smith

Sea Captain Windwagon Smith hits Westport, Kansas, the starting point of the old Oregon and Santa Fe Trails, and is quickly the laughing stock of the town; instead of traveling in the usual oxen-drawn covered wagon, he is at the helm and wheel of a Contestoga-type wagon with a full set of sails. He plans to go to Oregon by taking advantage of the prairie winds. First, he wins over the town mayor, falls in love with the mayor's beautiful daughter, Molly Crum, and then secures financial backing from the townspeople. He sets sail across the plains, with Molly Crum as a covered-wagon stowaway, and a Kansas twister looming on the horizon. And, then, the wind hits the sails. And the fan, too, if he had had one.

The Girl With Long Hair

There is a little Dong girl named Changfamei who lives at the foot of a desolate steep mountain. Once, Changfamei finally managed to get some water for her sick mother. She carried water through the old banyan tree and saw that the branches and leaves of the tree were withered and yellow, so she poured some water on the roots of the tree, and the old banyan tree immediately became green all over. Later, the long-haired girl found a spring on the cliff of a steep mountain. She was surprised and delighted. Suddenly, a black wind blew her into the eerie cave. The mountain demon threatened her not to tell anyone about the discovery of the spring.
