Once upon a time, there was a giant named Kua Fu who popped out of absolutely nowhere and thought he was sooooo awesome (he was also real nice). One day, to make sure his people were no longer cold and to bring them warmth (kinda like Prometheus), he decided to chase the sun (smart, right?). As he ran and ran with his super big strides (he is a giant after all) he got more tired and tired (After all, he was really close to the sun at that time). Very soon Kua Fu was suuuuupeeer thirsty. so he drank up a river. He ran a bit more, then he drank up a lake, then the sea (I'm surprised he didn't die of dehydration from that) he was still thirsty and drank the Chang Jiang and Huang He. Finally, when he got to his village and ran halfway across the world, he lay down to rest and died of exhaustion and heartburn. His wooden staff that he always carried around (when I say always I mean A.L.W.A.Y.S.) became a bijillion peach trees (FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD) to quench our thirst so we don't have to die a grisly death like him and he became a mountain range (Was he that fat?). In the end he overestimated and overexerted himself. For the sake of his people.
Niu Lang was a unfortunate child, his parents died at an early age, so he was taken in by his aunt and brother. But, they treated him badly, and didn't let him wear warm clothes or eat until he was full. They also made him do a lot of work. In the daytime, he farmed and took care of the family cow. At night, he slept with the cow in the stables. Niu Lang and the cow were exceptionally close, as though they were family. One day, his aunt told him that he must leave, and he could take the cow with him. Niu Lang was very happy to leave that place and to take the cow with him. He told the cow to go wherever he wished and they could start a home there. The cow stopped in a pasture near a lake. A couple days after they stopped, the cow spoke to Niu Lang. The cow said: " Go to the lake tomorrow and take the pink robe. This robe will get you a beautiful wife. " The next day, Niu Lang followed the cow's directions and saw the pink robe. He quickly snatched up the robe ...

That's soooo sad! So he didn't bring back the fire even though he died for it???
