An old man comes to the village．He tells the people in．the village Nian is afraid of the colour red．
People use red things and light firecrackers at the Spring Festival every year．
Nian is a monster．At the end of every year，he goes into the village and eats people!
Nian comes down from the hills．He Sees red paper on the doors and windows．He also sees red firecrackers．
People glue red paper on the doors and windows．
Nian feels afraid and runs back into the hills．
