Journal # 5 A legend about sun

In Chinese, we have a legend about sun. Long time ago, there were ten suns in the sky. Therefore, the weather was burning hot, and the people could not go out. Also, the farmers could not farm because all the plant died. There was a marksman who name was Hou-Yi. He wanted to save people and decided to shoot those suns. Hou-Yi was an excellent marksman. One day, he shot down nine suns, and when he wanted to continue to shoot last one, the people asked him to stop because if Hou-Yi would shoot down last one, the sky would become dark forever. Finally, Hou-Yi became a hero, and that is why we have one sun in sky now.
