Once upon a time, there were ten suns. They each took turns going out and bringing the people warmth. These ten suns were all brothers. When one of the suns went out, The others would relax, play, and do random things suns do. Then,one day, they came up with an idea that will get them killed. Going out together. Now that may sound weird to you, but they would parch the land if the came out together. In fact, they even had restrictions for that. But nooo, they just had to make that decision, and the next morning they all went out to play baseball, just kidding, they went out and did things that suns do. This lasted for quite a while. Pretty soon our puny little lives got pretty sad and our numbers were dwindling. A "hero" Hou Yiwent to go and help us, then squinted through the blinding white light (when did they invent sunglasses?) aimed pretty well, and shot one of the suns. Boom! One Sun down. *8 booms later* Hou Yi's wife Chang E came to plead with him to not shoot that last sun. After a LOT of pretty pretty pleases, he agreed (probably he was too annoyed). Then after witnessing Hou Yi's extraordinary act, a goddess gave him a pill of immortal life.
A crazy cat girl telling you all your Chinese myths!!!
