神话传说英文小故事大全：女娲造人 篇4

In ancient times,the four corners of the sky collapsed and the world with its nine regions spilt open.The sky couldn't cover all the things under it,nor could the earth carry all the things on it.A grea fier raged and wouldn't die out,a fierce flood raced about and couldn't be checked.Savage beasts devoured innocent people,vicious birds preyed on the weak and old.

Then Nu Wa melted rocks of five colours and used then to mend the ceasks in he sky.She supported the four corners of the sky with the legs she had cut off from a giant turtle.She killede the black dargon to save the people of Jizhou,and bloked the flood with the ashes of reeds.

Thus the sky was mended,its four corners lifted,the flood tamed,Jizhou pacified,and harmful birds and beasts killed,and the innocent people were able to live on the square earth under the dome of the sky.It was the time when birds,beasts,insects and snakes no longer used their claws or teeth or poisonous stings,for they didn't want to catch or eat weaker things.

Nu Wa's deeds benefited the heavents above and the earth below.Her name was remembered by later generations and her light shone on every creation.
