The Chinese New Year Story
I think most of the people know this story but i've nothing to do .. so i wrote this short story about chinese new year story.
Long long ago, the world was never a safe place to live; monsters are everywhere and live to dominate the world. And there was one horrifying monster that came out on the same day each and every year to eat people. This monster was named Nian, and the people marked the end of a year by his visits to the human civilization. That is where the Chinese word for year came from.
This monster was the most feared by the people because every time it came out, many villages would be destroyed at a time. So, every time the monster came, people would hide in their secret hidding spots or huddle together in their homes and stay up all night, wishing not to be eaten. This happened for many years until a wise man thought up a plan to scare the monster away.
This man proposed that the people should light bamboo with gunpowder. The bamboo would crack and make a lot of noise, possibly scaring the monster away. The villagers thought this was a very good idea and started to plan for the following day. At that day ,when Nian arrives at the village .The villagers lit the bamboos and threw near the monster. The cracaking noise was tremendously loud. The monster was scared by the loud noise and ran back to its cave without not eating any people.
The next morning, everyone was present. They were all happy and relieved. The people congratulated each other for executing the plan effectively. So, from then on, people stayed up late, lit firecrackers (to simulate the lighting of the bamboo), and congratulated each other when the new year came.
