Kuafu chasing the sun

One year, the weather was very hot, the burning sun shone directly on the earth, the trees were scorched and the rivers dried up. People can't stand the heat, and Kuafu people are dying one after another. He looked up at the sun and told his people, "I must catch up with the sun, catch it and let it listen to people." Kuafu bid farewell to his people and took a big step towards the rising sun, chasing it like the wind. His confidence is getting stronger and stronger. Finally, Kuafu caught up with the sun at sunset. A red fireball was in front of Kuafu, and ten thousand golden lights bathed him. Kuafu is very happy to open his arms and want to embrace the sun. But the sun was unusually hot, and Kuafu felt thirsty and tired. He ran to the Yellow River and drank all the water in one breath. He ran to the Weihe River and drank it all at once, but he still didn't quench his thirst. There are thousands of miles of osawa, and osawa has enough water to quench Kuafu's thirst. But Kuafu died of thirst on the way to osawa. When Kuafu died, his heart was filled with regret. He was still worried about his people, so he threw away his stick. Where the stick landed, a lush peach forest suddenly appeared. This peach forest is lush all year round, sheltering passers-by, and fresh peaches are used to quench their thirst.
