Moon Princess

A Long time ago, there were 10 suns up in the sky, scorching the earth as well as crops. People could hardly live. The Heavenly Emperor summoned a brave young man on the earth with excellent shooting skills to shoot down the suns. The young man, whose name was Yi, succeeded in shooting down 9 suns. The Emperor sent him magic pills---the herbs of immortality as a reward for his good deed. The herbs would make him live forever. One day, Yi's wife ,Chang Er, saw the pills, and out of great curiosity, she took some. Something astonishing happened! She started to fly! The pill worked another magic way on Chang Er! She flew higher and higher, she could not stop until she landed on the moon. There was nothing on the cold moon except a little jade rabbit. She was so lonely there. She missed her husband and regretted what she did, but she never found a way back. She lives on the moon to this day. People call her Moon Princess.
