Long long ago, there was a girl called Nuwa. Her father was Emperor(皇帝) Yan and he loved her very much. They often played together, and she also loved her father very much. One day, she had a wonderful time when she swam in the sea. She was too tired to swim and she was drowned (淹死). Because she wanted to see her father when she changed into(变成) a bird, she put some stones into the sea day after day and changed the sea into the land. She made a wish, and she would like to play with her father again.
