When the hole freezes, the tiger is trapped. The Shepherd and the Fairy: The Heavenly Jade Emperor's daughter falls in love with a shepherd boy who plays beautiful music. She wants to marry him, but her angry father turns her into a goldfish. The Money in the Cauldron: When a burglar breaks into the home of a poor scholar, he finds there is nothing to steal.
