[60800]

Mussa. the first son of the king. is born and the king rejoices. Everyone in the village has heard of the birth. and there is an air of excitment. The elders of the village convene and decide that the new prince should be unveiled to his people with the full moon. Once the moon has risen. the village elders lead the way to the princes coronation. When the procession reaches the sacred place on top of the mountain. they see the king on his throne. holding his child. The villagers. wearing their finest robes. gather below and watch as the king slowly rises and presents the new prince.
