Chinese Folk stories 1

The Cowherd and the Weaver girl.
On the East bank of heavenly river lived a girl weaver, daughter of the emperor of heaven. She worked hard weaving clothes for the Gods and Goddesses. Since she lived alone, the Emperor took pity on here and allowed her to marry the cowherd on the west bank of the river. However, she stopped making clothes after she got married. Greatly Annoyed, the emperor forced the girl back across the river and allowed her to join her husband once a year. On the seventh day of each autumn, magpies would suddenly become bald headed for no reason. According to the legend, that day the cowherd and the weaver met on the east bank of the river, and magpies were made to form a bridge for them, and for this reason, the down on their heads was worn away.
