and quicker than the speed of thought these discarded reflections sped back to their owners along the waterways of the earth.
That's why you'll find your own reflection looking at you whenever you bend over a stream or a pool of water.
I forgot to mention that Princess Momo was immortal. Why?
Because she'd never seen her own reflection in the magic mirror, and anyone who saw his own reflection in it became mortal at once.
Being well aware of this, Princess Momo took care not to do so. She'd always been quite content to live and play with her many other reflections.
One day, however, the magic mirror brought her a reflection that appealed to her more than any other. It was the reflection of a young prince.
As soon as she saw it, she longed to meet him face to face. How was she to set about it, though?
She didn't know where he lived or who he was - she didn't even know his name.
For want of a better idea, she decided to look into the magic mirror after all, thinking that it might carry her own reflection to the prince.
There was a chance that he might be looking up at the sky when the mirror floated past and would see her in it.
Perhaps he would follow the mirror back to the palace and find her there.
So she gazed into the mirror, long and hard, and sent it off around the world with her reflection.
