In ancient times, there was a little girl named Er Qiao in the south. When Er Qiao was eight years old, her mother fell ill and died, leaving her and a younger brother. Soon, her father married a stepmother. This stepmother is very cruel to Er Qiao and her younger brother. She doesn't let them eat and wear warm clothes, but also makes them do heavy work. One winter, it was very cold and it was snowing outside. Everyone else stayed at home to keep warm, but her stepmother asked Er Qiao to go out to mow the grass and feed the sheep. She had to finish mowing a basket of grass before coming back. In the snow without grass, Er Qiao cried as she walked, and walked far and far, but she didn't find a grass. She was cold and hungry, and fainted in the snow ... When she woke up, she found herself lying on a piece of green grass, surrounded by peach trees, and the breeze blew with a faint fragrance. Er Qiao was attracted by the beautiful scenery! She walked and walked until she reached a hole. After passing a narrow passage, her eyes widened. There are rows of white houses with rows of nameless trees on both sides, and a group of beautiful girls in white gauze clothes are busy. A girl in white was very surprised when she saw Er Qiao. She took her hand and asked, "Little girl, how did you get here?" Er Qiao told the girl in white what had happened to her. The girl sympathizes with her and likes her very much. She said, "You don't have to go back." "Yes," Er Qiao was very happy. The girl took Er Qiao into a white house, where many bamboo plaques were placed and many white fat bugs were raised. The girl taught Er Qiao to pick a leaf to feed these insects, and told her that this tree was called mulberry and these insects were called "Tian Chong". Er Qiao asked curiously, "What are these bugs for?" The girl in white said, "When they spin silk, they will weave silks and satins and make them into colorful clouds in the sky!" "Er Qiao is clever. She learned to pick mulberry leaves, raise worms and even weave silks and satins in a few days. The girl in white likes her very much and teaches her how to hatch worms and plant mulberry trees. After more than 20 days, Er Qiao missed her little brother very much and wanted to bring him to live with her, so she hurried back. When she left, she had a few bugs in her arms and a basket full of mulberries. Er Qiao was afraid that she didn't know the way and couldn't walk far, so she lost a mulberry as a sign. She was shocked when she returned to the village. The village has changed, her stepmother has long since passed away, and her little brother has grown into a young man. It turns out that she has been walking for more than 20 days and has been on earth for more than 20 years. Er Qiao realized that she had met a fairy in the sky! When she looked back again, the mulberry fruit had grown into a mulberry forest, and she could never find her original way. At this moment, Er Qiao felt her arm moving. It turns out that the worm has hatched. Er Qiao quickly picked mulberry leaves to feed them and taught others in the village to raise these bugs. When these worms spun silk and Er Qiao wove silk into satin, people were amazed. Since then, every family has picked mulberry leaves to raise these worms, and people have gradually turned these "heavenly worms" into "silkworms". Until today, farmers in southern China still keep silkworms, which are called "silkworm babies". Silkworms will spin silk after cocoon formation. Silk can be woven into silks and satins and sewn into various colorful and noble clothes. So people who raise silkworms are all in memory of Joe.

It's over when the silkworm girl arrives.
