Tsun-Kyan-Kse, a golden haired goddess with sapphire blue eyes
Long time ago Tsun-Kyan-Kse, a golden haired goddess with sapphire blue eyes, presided lovingly over the temple of Lao-Tsun. Everyday, the temple's chief monk Mun-Ha, meditated before the golden goddess accompanied by his devoted companion, a green-eyed cat named Sinh. One day the temple was besieged by a group of terrible outlaws.
When they threw Mun-Ha to the floor, Sinh leapt fiercely at the bandits, jumping up on his master's chest to protect him. The wrong doers fled screaming in fear, never to return and in gratitude for his courage, the golden goddess awarded Sinh with her sapphire blue eyes.
To this day, Sinh's ancestors guard over the temple.
The temple still stands and is populated by Siamese cats with striking blue eyes (typically this breed has green eyes).
