On this one, she wrote on the back and told me a traditional regional folk tale:
"Hi Chris. My name is Cherlita. I'm an art director and illustrator. This is one of my artworks of Indonesian folklore Keong Mas (The golden snail). The story follows a beautiful princess who was envied by her sister. The sister sought a witch to curse her in order to have the prince turned to the sister. The princess became a golden snail. One day, an old widow who lives by the sea was fishing, and she caught the snail in her net. It mesmerized her and she bought [sic] it home. The next day, she came home from work, the house she lived in has been cleaned & food is ready on the table. The princess has helped her! Soon, the prince found the princess & broke the curse with a kiss, & the 3 lived happily ever after. Hope you like the card!"
