Cowherd and Weaver Girl
The orphan Cowherd lives on his brother and sister-in-law. His sister-in-law was mean and often abused him. He was forced to separate and feed himself on an old cow. The old cow is very clever.?
One day, the weaver girl and the fairies went down to play and bathed in the river. The old cow advised the cowherd to meet each other and told him that if the fairies could not go back before dawn, they could only stay in the world.?
The cowherd stayed by the river to see seven fairies. He found that the smallest fairy was very beautiful and had a sudden love for her. Remembering the words of the old cow, Niulang quietly took away the fairy's clothes.
The fairies took a bath and were ready to return to heaven. When the fairies found that their clothes were missing, they could only stay. The Cowherd made an encounter with the fairy Weaver Girl.?
Later, they talked very well and understood their difficulties. The Weaver Girl became the wife of the Cowherd. After marriage, they farmed and woven, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Their life was very happy.?
Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Heaven found out the matter and ordered the Queen Mother to escort the Zhinu back to heaven for trial.
Lao Niu couldn't bear the separation of their wives, so he broke the horns on his head and turned into a boat, letting the Cowherd chase his children by boat.?
Seeing that she was about to catch up with Zhinu, the Queen Mother suddenly pulled out the gold hairpin on her head and drew a galaxy rolling in the sky.?
Niulang could not cross the river, but watched and wept with Zhinu by the river. Their steadfast love moved magpies. Countless magpies flew to build a colorful bridge across the Tianhe River with their bodies, so that Cowherd and Weaver Girl could meet on the Tianhe River.?
The Emperor had no choice but to allow Cowherd and Weaver Girl to meet on Magpie Bridge once a year on July 7, and Magpie would also be around. Every year after that, Cowherd and Weaver Girl will meet on July 7.

老牛不忍他們妻離子散，於是觸斷頭上的角，變成壹只小船，讓牛郎挑著兒女乘船追趕。眼看就要追上織女了，王母娘娘忽然拔下頭上的金釵，在天空劃出了壹條波濤滾滾的銀河。牛郎無法過河，只能在河邊與織女遙望對泣。
