When Wars asked Sawa to marry him, Sawa was very sad. She told him that she was a mermaid(美人鱼) and she couldn't marry man. But she said she would give him something when they met again.
      The next day, Wars went to the river and met Sawa. Sawa was waiting for him with a sword (剑) in her right hand and a shield (盾) in her left hand. She told Wars that they wouldn't meet again. She gave the sword and the shield to him. She said he would be successful with the sword and the shield and become a great hero. Then she went away.
