A long time ago, God lived in the sky and people lived on the earth. The sky was very high and the earth was very thick and far away. The good thing is that there was a bronze pillar connecting heaven and earth, from which God could descend to earth and man could climb to heaven.

At that time, there was a great god in heaven, he was very powerful, and he was in charge of heavenly matters, and he was also in charge of earthly matters. The people on the earth were living a hard life, but the great god wanted them to pay tribute to food and money for their own families to eat, drink and play.

This year, the Great Spirit came down to earth again to collect tribute. He is very big, sitting down on the gold stool, drinking water from the gold bowl, eating from the gold spoon, where the poor people can afford to entertain him ah! Hearing that the great god had come to collect tribute, people took their children with them to hide in the mountains.

He went to one house, no one; then another, no one, can not help but have a stomach full of anger. He climbed up the hill in anger and shouted: "Listen, people in the mountains and forests, hurry home to pay tribute, or I will let the flood drown you!"

The folks hiding in the woods were so scared that they dared not breathe a word and dared not come out! But, do not go out also can not ah, the gods of heaven to send a plague that is not all over!

Is a dilemma, the forest came out by a young man, his name is Wu Wu. Wu Wu went to the gods, the first salute, and respectfully said: "Master God, people have gone to prepare the tribute money and food, please give your old man some time.

The great god heard, grunted, and said: "No, no grace!"

Wu Wu repeatedly pleaded and the Great Spirit said: "To grace, you have to give me a good black cow."

Said the Great Spirit disappeared, Wu Wu appeared in front of a tall and large bull.

The bull is black like ink, but there are two eyes shining, and bright enough to make people afraid. The black bull rushed Wu Wu with a tilt of the head, and open a bloody mouth to Wu Wu want to eat grass, but also eat just cut the young grass. Wu Wu cut how much, black cattle eat how much, the mouth is so big like a bottomless pit that can not be filled. Wu Wu dares not to stop doing, cut the grass, and still can not catch up with it to eat. A day down, Wu Wu had sore legs and back pain, the sun went down, fell asleep on the ground. Look busy, but the next day, Wu Wu's older brother, and second brother also came to help. Three people are too busy to straighten their backs, and still can not fill this bottomless pit.

The three brothers just cut grass all day to feed the cattle, tired but also willing, as long as the folks do not suffer.

Since the arrival of the black cow, the cottage often has strange things at night. Either the chicken coop collapsed for good reason, or that sheep pen suddenly broke, and some fields of green crop seedlings were trampled to a mess ...... folks strange, Wu Wu also strange, he was determined to find out.

That night, Wu Wu quietly squatted under the big tree at the entrance of the fortress, not moving to look. The first shift passed, calm and quiet; the second shift passed, calm and quiet; the third shift passed, calm and quiet. He was a little tired and almost fell asleep, and then he opened his eyes and took a look. At that moment, he saw the black cow strutting towards the fortress, it turned out to be it. Wu Wu gingerly followed the black cow. Black cattle into the village, then into a pig pen, head an arch, two sharp horns collapsed the pig pen. The pigs in the pen were frightened, kicking and running away. Wu Wu was prepared and released the family's yellow cattle in advance. At this time, the yellow cow rushed up to the black cattle to a fierce top, black cattle are not prepared to be topped by the stomach, screaming in pain to the mountains to escape!

The yellow cow chased after the black cow, scared the black cow ran faster. The darkness of the road, the black cattle running wind fast, too late to turn, jumped off the cliff and fell to his death.

Wu Wu saw clearly, that the black cow fell off the cliff. However, the next morning, he and the villagers went down to the bottom of the ditch, did not see the black cow, but saw that the great god to urge the tribute fell to his death on the stone.

With the death of the Great Spirit, no one was pressing and extorting anymore, and the people lived in peace.
