Shen Nong Tries a LOT of Herbs

Image result for 神农尝百草

Long, long ago, the plants of this extravagant world were unclassified. No one knew what were weeds, medicine and food. That is really sad. The people of the world ate only meat at the time, since they had no veggies (wish I could do that). When that caught an animal, they had dinner, if not, then no food. Sometimes, people got so hungry that they ate veggies,but, some of them were poisoned. Others were ill and had no medicine to cure them. In order to stop our suffering a nice guy named Shen Nong decided he would be our lab rat. Yay! In the daytime, he would taste herbs on the mountain and at night he sorts them out by the fire. Wait... Doesn't he need to sleep too?
Once he put a piece of herb into his mouth,and before he even started chewing, he got really dizzy and fell to the ground. A passerby caught him and picked him up. But Shen Nong knew he was was poisoned. He took his last bit of energy and pointed towards to super healing herb. The passerby immediately put it in his mouth and he was saved.  Even though he lived, many tried to convince him to go down the mountain (Free Will!). But he was stupidly persistent and continued with his work. He went from mountain to mountain for 49 days straight! He organized all the herbs he had ever tried and  and taught people how to use them. In total, he tasted 365 different herbs! I have never had so many veggies in my young life. Not only that, but he called on a super magic birdie, and made him get wheat and other grains for us! Yippee!!! Shen Nong then taught us how to grow all these different grains to feed ourselves, and we lived happily ever after.

The End

    365 herbs over 49 days, that's only like 7 per day, so of course he had time to sleep!

Kua Fu has the Really Stupid Idea to Chase the Sun

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...

Jing Wei Makes the Executive Decision to Flatten the Sea

Yan Di had many, many children, but he had one favorite, Jing Wei. She was very beautiful and loved to play out on the open sea. One day, as she was frolicking in her favorite sailboat, a giant wave hit her, and she drowned. Once her father found out, he had no choice but to bury her and weep *sob*. Who knew, that after Jing Wei  died, she became a beautiful bird with colorful feathers, a white beak, and red feet. From that day on, Jing Wei always brought a stick, or stone with her to try (in vain) to flatten the sea. Day after day, the sea tried to convince her to stop this tedious work and give up.  The sea claimed that it would never happen, everything would just sink to the bottom and cause no harm to the sea. Besides, Jing Wei could never bring something large or heavy enough to pose a threat to the almighty sea. But Jing Wei didn't listen, she still persisted. She did this every single moment of her time. Yet she may never prevail. But she continued for her lost lif...

Chang E Ascends to the Moon

Once upon a time, there were 10 suns. They scorched the land until it burned, dried up all the water, and made us little chumps pretty miserable. Then, a hero named Hou Yi scrambled up a mountain, used his superpowers and shot down 9 of them. Very soon after, Hou Yi got married to this lovely person named Chang E. One day, Hou Yi went out to Kun Lun Shan to do Hou Yi things, and he saw Wang Mu Niang Niang. She gave Hou Yi two "super pills" (if you eat one super pill you get immortality, if you eat 2 super pills, you go ascend to heaven). Since he couldn't leave his wife behind, he told her to go hide the  "super pills". Chang E then decided to hide the the pills in one of the nooks and crannies in the house. But who knew that one of Hou Yi's so-called acquaintances saw the "super pills". 3 days later,while Hou Yi was gone, his acquaintance came to take the pills! Chang E had no method of defending herself, so she quickly swallowed all the pills ...
