Chinese Myths and Folk Tales

Nope, no metaphor. He literally rearranged his insides, he gave him a new heart too.  

I am deeply grateful to Your Excellency’s former kindness in arranging my inside.

Briliant collection, full of lore and wonder and horror. I would say this is quite a definitive volume if you're into that sort of thing!
