Niu Lang and Zhi Nv Part I

Image result for 牛郎织女


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 and hid in a thicket. Very soon after, the fairies realized that there was a mortal man spying upon them and quickly found their clothing except for the youngest fairy, Zhi Nv. Niu Lang shyly walked up to her and told her, "If you become my wife, then you may receive your clothing"

Will she accept it? Find out next time!

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 ...

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...
