One day, Meng Chiang-nu went to find her husband. She walked for days and days. She walked across rivers and mountains. Finally, she reached the Great Wall. "Where is my husband?" she asked.
"Oh! he died long ago." a man said "WE buried him here, by the Wall." Meng Chiang-nu cried. She cried for days, and many people cried with her. Their tears made a river 300 meters long. They cried so hard that a part of the wall fell down.
When the emperor heard about the woman, he came to see what has happened. He saw her cry, and fell in love with her. "will you marry me?" he asked "I will marry you" Meng Chiang-nu said. "But first, you must build a tomb for my husband." The emperor agreed.
When the tomb was finished,Meng Chiang-nu wouldn't marry the emperor. She jumped into the river."Catch her! Catch her!" the emperor shouted. But Meng Chiang-nu became a beautiful silver fish. She swam away, into the greenblue water.
