In a village house somewhere in China there was a beautiful young woman sitting on her bed using her chopsticks to pick up a grain of rice and put it on top of the mound of rice she was eating for breakfast.
"Quiet and demure...graceful... polite..." she said picking up some rice with her chopsticks and taking a bite, "delicate... refined...poised..." she puts down her chopsticks and writes one last word on her right arm, "punctual."
Just when she finished writing down the word, the clock rang indicating it was late making her jump out of bed.
"Little brother. Little brother!" She exclaimed walking hurriedly across the house looking for him "Lit- oh, there you are. Who is the smartest doggie in the world? come on smart boy, can you help me with my chores today?" she told that dog who was very excited to see her.
Mulan ties a sack of grain around her little brother's waist. She ties a stick onto his body so that end of it is in front of his face. She ties the bone on the end of the stick just out of reach. The dog begins to run after the bone which he cannot reach. Mulan opens the door for him and he runs into the door frame crashing into it, then running out the open door. He runs by the chickens and Khan - the family horse.
Not so far from the house in a small temple there was a man kneeling and praying before the Fa family ancestors.
"Honorable ancestors, please help Mulan impress the matchmaker today." He said before the dog runs into the temple barking and scattering grain on the floor around Fa Zhou causing the chickens that followed him to enter the temple to eat the grains.
"Please, PLEASE, help her."
Mulan goes up to the temple and sees the dog on its hind legs trying to get the bone, Mulan bends the stick down so he can reach the bone. He starts to bite the bone happily as Mulan continues towards the temple.
"Father I brought your--whoop!" Fa Zhou bumps into Mulan making the cup fall to the ground and Fa Zhou catches the teapot with the handle of his cane.
"Mulan-"
"I brought a spare." She said pulling out a cup from underneath the back of her dress and begins to pour the tea.
"Mulan-"
"Remember, the doctor said three cups of tea in the morning--" She said interrupting her father again.
"Mulan-"
"And three at night."
"Mulan, you should already be in town. We're counting on you to up-"
"Uphold the family honor. Don't worry father. I wont let you down." She said completing what her father was going to say as she covers over the writing on her arm with here sleeve. "Wish me luck!" Mulan hurries down the stairs
"Hurry!" He let out a sigh seeing her running down the stairs. "I'm going to...pray some more." Fa Zhou turns and heads back into the temple to continue praying.
