About the story
In the blue misty mountains up high, there was once a quilt maker who kept a house. Here, there and wherever the sun warmed the earth, she said she made the prettiest quilts that everyone had ever seen. The blues in the quilt it seemed to come from the part of the ocean, the whites from the northernmost snows, the greens and purples from abundant wildflowers, the reds, oranges, and pinks from the most wonderful sunset. Some people said, there was a magic in her fingers, and still others said the quilts really fell to earth from the heaven where the angels lived. Many people climbed her mountain to change the quilt with gold. All people were hopping that the gold could replace one of the wonderful quilts, but the woman would not sell them. She said “I give my quilts to those who are poor or homeless” they are not for the rich.  When the king heard, if in the mountain top there was a quilt maker, he asked his troops to climbed the mountain to change the gold with the one of wonderful quilts that created by the old woman in the mountain top.  He asked the quilt maker to change his gold with the quilt, but the quilt maker didn’t want to give her quilt to the king. The next day, when the quilt maker had breakfast with the bear the king and her troops climbed the mountain again and hopping the quilt maker wanted to give her quilt. However, the quilt maker still gave the same answer “these quilts are not for the rich”. If the king wanted this quilt he must give something that he loves to other. And then he gave what he loves to another people.
So, the quilt maker had prepared the quilt that she wanted to give it to the king. And the king got what he wanted. As a result the king also felt falling in love with the quilt maker.
