A Story of Chang'e
Read and answer: Who did Chang'e marry?
Chang'e was a very beautiful woman. She married a man named Hou Yi. Hou Yi was a hero, because he shot down nine extra suns in the sky and saved all the people. The Queen Mother of the West gave Hou Yi some magic medicine. The medicine can make a person live forever.
One day, Hou Yi was not at home. A bad man named Feng Meng came to steal the medicine. Chang'e could not protect the medicine. So she ate it. Luckily, Feng Meng didn't steal the medicine away. However, the medicine made Chang'e fly to the moon. Hou Yi was very sad. But he could do nothing. What an unhappy ending!
