This story is about a Scottish girl, who is called after a shining mountain, Pangma-La, because her father works as a famous mountaineer. The children at her school are teasing her about her name. When Pangma-La became older, she and her dad claimed a mountain. The mountain is called The Shining Mountain. On the way to the top of the mountain, she meets an old lady. The old lady offers to carry her heavy rucksack, but Pangma-La is afraid to disappoint her dad, so she wouldn’t accept it. The same night Pangma-La tells her dad about the old lady she have meet and her dad makes her promise that she wouldn’t speak to no one, no matter what they say or offer.
The next morning, the old lady appears again and offers her to carry her heavy rucksack again. This time Pangma-La accepts the offer, because she is too tired. But this time she didn’t tell her dad about it, because she was afraid to disappoint her dad. The same thing happens on the third and fourth day. On the fourth day she gave the old lady her heavy, heavy heart. When Pangma-La and her dad arrived to the top, Pangma-La disappears out in the blue and she is turning into a swan. The old lady appears again, and this time she wants to talk to her dad. She tells him that Pangma-La is her daughter from now on. Pangma-La’s father finds out that the old lady is the mountain goddess. After everything that has happened to Pangma-La and the goddess, her father tries to run to the edge of the mountain and to cast himself off, but the goddess saved him. The goddess tells her dad that now he has to carry the heavy burden. Her dad falls on his knees and cries for the first time and then the goddess gets satisfied and gives him her daughter back to live.
