SUMMARY
Kuafu and his people live under a mountain where it is always dark and life is very hard without enough sunlight to grow crops. Kuafu decides to race and catch the sun and make it shine properly on his land. His race lasts many days and as he nears the sun its heat makes him so thirsty he drinks the Yellow and Wei rivers dry; but he does manage to trap the sun and make it promise to shine properly before he dies of thirst
