The girl sat with her legs drawn up on a rock by the lake. It was a freezing, moonlit winter night and the sky was clear with stars. Despite the cold, the girl only wore a black kimono. With tears in her eyes she stared at the black water of the lake. Slowly she leaned forward to look at her reflection. But no reflection appeared. Only the stars twinkled in the water.
