8大中国传统故事英文版，值得收藏！（中英文本）(12)

Kua Fu wanted to help. He looked up at the Sun. It moved across the sky. It baked the ground below.
Kua Fu wanted to catch the Sun. Then he could stop it from baking the ground. That night, Kua Fu found a tall peach tree. It was so tall it reached heaven. It looked like a good tree to catch the Sun. He pulled up the tree. Then he ate the peaches.
When the Sun rose, Kua Fu picked up the tree. He ran fast. He ran hard.
Mountains shook. Wind storms blew. The Gods watched.
“Kua Fu is very fast!” they said. “Can he catch the Sun?”
The Sun wasn’t worried. Every morning, it came up. Every day it crossed the sky. Every evening it set.
Every day, Kua Fu ran. He ran, and his shoes filled with dirt. He stopped to empty his shoes. The dirt that fell out of his shoes turned into a hill.
Then Kua Fu ran up Dirty Shoes Hill.
Kua Fu ran each day. He stretched up his arms to reach the sky. But he still didn’t catch the Sun.
After many days, Kua Fu got thirsty. He went to the nearest stream. He drank the stream dry! But it was not enough. He was still thirsty!
