Once there was a family living at the foot of a mountain, farming was their livelihood, hence the days passed by very fast. The family consisted of an old granny, father, mother, Da Xi, Er Xi, and San Xi. The family of six lived together.
Father and mother busied in the farm, went out early in the morning and came home in the night. Old granny stayed at home to take care of household chores and looking after the children.
The children loved their granny very much. They sticked together day and night. Granny would make them lots of toys She would also tell them many many interesting stories.
Granny was liked the big tree and the children liked the little flowers under the tree. Granny was like the moon from the sky and the children liked the little stars beside the moon.
Days passed so fast that the children grew up fast and granny grew older and older. Years passed and granny's hair became grey, eyes became blur and she could not do a lot of things.
Nobody doing housework, mother had to work in the farm and at the same time taking care of the house. She was busy from morning till night. She was frustrated and directed her anger at old granny.
