Hi, I’m NIAN. A monster that will scare villagers every year because I thought that was very interesting.
Hi, we’re VILLAGERS. The victim of harassment. We were very happy because finally NIAN escaped due to red color and loud sound.
1 A long time ago, there was a monster named Nian.
2 Nian loved to visit a little village in China each year, and scare everybody he saw.
3 He thought that was great fun. He liked to do this just as the new year began, to remind people that Nian was still around.
Nian startled the villagers and fell to the ground. Then the heavmetal bucket he was carrying fell from the mountain. After scaring everyone every year, Nian can't wait until the new year is over before scaring them. 4
5 This could go on forever. Until one day, there was a villager wearing a red tunic, carrying an empty heavy metal bucket, and walking towards the small river.
6 Nian hides his huge body in the forest, ready to scare the villager. He followed him all the way, until it was more vague and ready to jump out to scare him.
When Nian jumped out, Nian saw the red shirt and immediately ran down the mountain. 7
Nian startled the villagers and fell to the ground. Then the heavy metal bucket he was carrying fell from the mountain. 8
The bucket crashed down from under the mountain, hitting every rock on the mountain. The bucket made a terrible noise. Nian looked back in fear, and began to run away faster. 9
10 After that, the villager returned to the village and told everyone about his good luck. He said Nian saw his red shirt and was scared and ran away. The loud sound of the bucket made Nian even more frightened. This is undoubtedly good news for the villagers.
Since then, the villagers are all ready, looking forward to the arrival of Nian. In the second year, when that Nian came out, everyone in the village waved the red flags. They rang the bells and ran to Nian with waving red flags. 11
Nian was frightened and ran away. After that, the villagers never saw Nian again. 12
