A touching fairy tale related to the sky

Since Nu Wa created human beings, the earth is full of songs and laughter, and people have been living a happy life. I don't know how many years passed, but one night, Nu Wa was suddenly awakened by a loud bang. She got up in a hurry and went outside to have a look. God, that's terrible! A large piece of the distant sky collapsed, revealing a big black hole. The ground was also shattered, and a series of deep ditches appeared. There is a raging fire burning on the mountain, and many people are trapped at the top of the mountain by the fire. There are flooded fields everywhere and many people are struggling in the water.

Seeing this, Nu Wa was very sad. She immediately went to the rain god and begged him to rain and put out the sky fire. She also built many boats to rescue people struggling in the flood.

However, the big hole in the sky is still burning. Nu Wa decided to risk her life to make up for it. So, she ran to the mountain, looking for colorful stones to repair the sky. She thought there were plenty of such stones, and it didn't take much effort. However, when you look at that mountain, it's all odds and ends. She was busy for several days and nights and found stones in four colors: red, yellow, blue and white. There is still a lack of pure bluestone. So she searched and searched, and finally found it in a clear spring.

There are all kinds of colorful stones. Nu Wa first dug a round hole in the ground, put colorful stones in it and melted it with divine fire. After five days and five nights of refining, multicolored petrochemical became a very viscous liquid. Nu Wa put it in a big basin, lifted it to the horizon, pointed it at the big black hole, threw it up, and saw the golden light shining, and the big hole was repaired immediately.

Nowadays, people often see colorful clouds on the horizon. It is said that this is where the goddess repairs the sky.
