Valentine day

Valentine's day is coming. There are 2 different valentine day in one year. One is on July (Chinese calender) which is the Chinese Valentine's day, the other one is on February which is the western Valentine's day. There is a story why Chinese people celebrate Chinese valentine's day on July, let's talk about it! They said that there's a king in the heaven that have 7 daughters and the youngest one is the most cute and beautiful one named Zhi Nu. She's in charged of the tapestry job of her dad. Her dad also has another place for cows, and there is one guy is also in charged of that place his name is "Niu lang". Niu Lang and Zhi nu fall in love with each other, like too much. So they forget about the work but focus on their relationships. When the king knew that, he became mad and said that they can only meet once a week (7days), he told the bird to go tell them. And the bird misunderstood and said that, they can meet everyday and that makes them didn't even care about their own job already. The king got really angry this time and said that they can only meet at night on the 7th of july in chinese calender. Then, the queen "wang Mu" took Zhi nu to her place and of course the Niu lang came after but wang mu stop him by making a long river between them two, their love makes the bird felt guilty and so the bird gather all his friends and then make them self into a line so that they both can walk on it and meet together again, the wang mu was okay about that but only once a year. Isn't it romantic?
