Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun(55)

The poacher fell asleep in the gentle shade and in his dreams he heard a story—about a princess birthed by the moon but in love with the sun. He returned to his village and told everyone who listened that the ancient tree had whispered him a story and that it ended in this manner:

And it is said, that the princess Moanna returned to her father’s kingdom, and reigned there with justice and a kind heart for many centuries. That she was loved by her people and left behind small traces of her time on earth visible only to those who know where to look.

It’s always just a few who know where to look and how to listen, that is true. But for the best stories, a few are just enough.
