牛郎织女

niú láng zhī nǚ · The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl

An old fable, retold simply and drawn page by page. Turn the pages with the arrows or your keyboard, and hide the pinyin once a line reads on its own.

Long ago there was a young cowherd. He was very poor and had only one old ox. Every day he herded the ox on the mountain, feeling very lonely inside.
