How the Rooster Got His Crown: A Bilingual Chinese Folktale 2nd Edition

A Bilingual Chinese/English folktale about the time when Earth had six suns and an archer and the rooster saved the day. The rooster is the tenth figure in the 12 year Chinese Zodiac Calendar. By Chinese legend the Earth had six suns. The Yellow Emperor decreed that archers could shoot down five suns. The sixth sun hid and caused darkness, as the best archer in all of China was summoned and shot down the five suns, using a special trick. Animals were called to bring out the sun, but the sixth sun did not respond. Finally, the rooster called the sun out to shine and restore the day light. The rooster was rewarded a crown for his lovely song.
