Existing, some say, Chang-O gained immortality - as a toad. Widely myths say that Chang-O's put was one of the twelve moons, each a peculiar plan, that cross the sky" (p. 84).

I see Her, not as careless of the feelings of others or pointless, but as set on fire, and full-blown knowledgeable from Her mistakes. I pat that She has a lot of affection for humans, basis that She after stood someplace we are now."
