Long ago, there were seven suns in the world. The heat of the suns caused the earth to crack, trees and crops to die and water to dry up. The people who lived under the baking heat of the suns could hardly live. Then, one day, a man named Houyi, armed with a bow and arrow, shot down the suns. From that day on, only one sun rose each morning at the cocks crow, and the people could live there lives happily.
