The Story of the Sun and the Rainbow
射日彩虹
The world was dark in ancient times, so, the Sky God told his children, “Son, you be the sun. Daughter, you be the moon. Take turns to light up the world.” However, the older brother loved to play, and he often neglected his duties. Because of this, the world would often remain dark during the day for many months straight.

As people couldn't work during the day, the Sky God told his daughter, “Take your brother's place, and light up the world during the day.” When the brother returned after playing, he found that his sister had taken his place. He got angry and ran up to his sister and said, “You don't look anything like a magnificent sun! Let me show you how it's done!” He turned into the sun and shone very brightly. As there were two suns in the sky, the temperature rose, the rivers dried up, and the trees and crops withered. The people on earth could not take it anymore. During the day, they hid in a cave to avoid being burned by the suns, and discussed how to solve the problem.

Just then, a young hunter named A-Ge said, “Let me use a bow and arrow and shoot one of the suns down. Then everything will be back to normal.” That night, A-Ge took a seven-colored fishing pole and his bow and arrow, and set off in the dark. He rested by day and traveled in the dark by night. Finally, he arrived at the mountain top where the suns rose into the sky. The next morning, A-Ge shot at sister sun as she was rising into the sky. However, his arrow missed. It was almost noon when brother sun tried to join sister sun in the sky. But A-Ge used the hook on his seven-colored fishing pole to stop brother sun rising further. Then, he shot many arrows at brother sun, who lost so much light and heat that he became the moon, and A-Ge's seven-colored fishing pole became a beautiful rainbow.



遠古時代,大地一片黑漆漆的,天神就對兒女說:「兒子你變成太陽,女兒你變成月亮,你們兄妹輪流出來照亮大地。」不過,哥哥個性愛玩,常常因為貪玩就不出來照亮大地,也因此大地常常幾個月白天都是黑的,人們也無法工作。

天神就對女兒說:「你代替哥哥當太陽,白天出來照亮大地。」哥哥遊玩回來後,發現妹妹取代他的位置,心裡非常生氣,馬上跑去找妹妹,並說:「你這樣怎麼像雄偉的太陽呢!看我的厲害。」說完就加大太陽的威力。大地一下子有兩個太陽照射,溫度越來越高,河水乾了,樹木作物也枯萎,地面上的人開始受不了,為了不被太陽曬死,大家都躲到山洞裡,並且討論著要如何解決這個問題。

這時,有一位年輕獵人阿格說:「讓我用弓箭把一個太陽射下來,回到以前的樣子。」當天晚上,阿格就帶著七彩釣竿和弓箭,摸黑出發,他白天休息、夜晚摸黑趕路,終於來到太陽升天的山頂上。第二天早上,妹妹變成的太陽,正要升空時,阿格拉起弓,咻一聲,竟然沒射中。快中午時,哥哥變的太陽正要升空時,阿格先用七彩釣竿勾住太陽,再拿起弓箭連續射了好幾箭,被射中的哥哥消耗了許多的光和熱後,變成月亮,而阿格的七彩釣竿就成為美麗的彩虹。
