Long long ago, there were ten (sun) in the sky. Each day, one of them set out on his journey across the sky, but one day all ten suns set out together. a result, the world was so hot many plants, animals and people died. Finally, the god (send) Hou Yi to save the world.
Hou Yi kept his eyes closed some seconds because of the strong sunlight. Then he placed an arrow(箭) against the bowstring(弓弦) and drew it to the full. Then he let go (he) arrow. One of the ten suns was killed and fell down.
Still the earth was burning. Nine suns remained(遗留). Hou Yi went on (shoot) the suns. When the (nine) sun fell from the sky, Hou Yi was told that the world needed one sun (give) its warmth and light. Hou Yi left only one sun in the sky. Since then, the only sun rises in the morning on his journey across the sky every day.
