               Funny reading

Long, long time ago,10 suns appeared in the sky. They looked like 10 fireballs, which scorched the entire earth. There was a sharp shooter named Hou Yi who attempted to help people to shoot down the excess suns. Hou Yi shot down nine suns at one time, and left the last one. Hou Yi commanded that the sun should rise and fall on time each day to benefit the people. Because of his contribution in shooting down the suns and saving the world, the queen Wang Mu gave Hou Yi a magic pill which could make him a god and became immortal. Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife Chang-e alone and became immortal. So he gave the elixir to her and asked her to keep it. This sense was seen by an evil minded man whose name was Pang Meng. After Hou Yi became famous, many people came to learn the archery from him. Peng Meng was one of them.

One day Hou Yi went out for hunting with his disciples leaving chang-e at home alone. Peng Meng pretended to be ill, and did not go with them.

After Hou Yi left, Pang Meng broke into Hou Yis house with sword. And forced Chang-e to give him the pill. Chang-e worried that Pang Meng will bring disasters to human being after he got the magic.So she swallowed the pill. After swallowing the pill, Chang-e felt that her body  became very light immediately. And she flew to the heaven. Chang-e worried about Hou Yi. So she only flew to the moon which was nearest to the earth and became the moon goddess.

Chang-e was accompanied by a jade rabbit in the moon every day. She missed her husband very much. So did her husband Hou Yi. He also wanted to meet Chang-e again. A god taught Hou Yi a method: Using flour to make a cake which looked like the full moon in August 15th. And placing it on the Northwest of the house. Then calling Chang-e’s name continuousl. Then Chang-e would come back and reunite with him.

Hou Yi made many cakes according to the god's method on August 15th. And Chang-e really came back home from the moon. Later on, people called this round flour-made cake “moon cake” and passed it on from generation to generation.
