Cries and calls went up from many throats.

“Loo!!”

“Ying!!”

“Where are you?”

“Han!!”

“Chan!!”

“Come back!”

The trees absorbed the cries; no answers followed.

Kung-San Lung beckoned the country boy to his side and led him to a rocky outcrop at the edge of the valley. “Let us see what your voice can do,” he said.

The boy climbed up the rock, braced himself, and lifted his head.

“Ying!”

“Loo!”

“Chan!”

“Han!”

“We are here!”

His voice blasted forth over the mountainside like a trumpet, a bull horn, a thunderclap. It stilled the birdsong, shook the pine needles, bounced off the crags, and rolled down into the valley.

Once more it resounded.

“Ying!”

“Loo!”

“Chan!”

“Han!”

“We are here!”

It was not long before the missing boys emerged from the trees.

Kung-San Lung turned to his students and said, “Even a small gift has its uses.”
