　　Long after Pangu pushed apart the sky and the earth, there was no man on the earth except some animals and a beautiful goddess, Nüwa.

      盘古开天地后过了很久，大地上没有人类，只有一些动物和一个美丽的女神——女娲。

     One day, when she was walking around apond, Nüwa saw a pretty face on the water of the pond — that was her own face! This made Nüwa excited. Using the mud from the pond, she could make a little thing that looked like her.

      一天，当女娲在一个池塘边散步时，她发现池塘水面上有一张漂亮的脸蛋——那是她自己的脸蛋！这让她兴奋不已。她可以用池子里的黄泥做出跟她长得一样的小泥人。

    So she grabbed some mud and squished it between her fingers. After a while, a little babylike thing was made! “Mama!” cried the baby. What a big surprise! How happy Nüwa was when she heard this! She had someone to take care of! She was not lonely any more!

      于是她抓起一些黄泥，用手指捏了又捏。不一会儿，一个婴儿般的小泥人就做成了。“妈妈！”小泥人喊道。这是多大的一个惊喜啊！女娲听到这声“妈妈”，感到真快乐！她有人要照顾了，她不再孤单。

    They laughed and played together.

      她们一起笑，一起玩。

     Nüwa named them “human”.

      女娲给他取了个名字：人。

After observation and consideration, she picked up a dry vine from a cliff and dipped it into the mud. Then she flew into the sky and sprinkled drops of mud on the ground. Look, thousands of babies were waving to her! “Mama, Mama.” The sweet voice was the best reward of her hardwork.

      经过一番观察和思考，她从悬崖上扯下一条枯藤，蘸到泥浆里，然后飞向空中，把泥浆洒向大地。瞧！成千上万的宝宝在向她招手！“妈妈，妈妈！”这甜美的呼喊就是女娲辛勤劳动的回报。

      More and more people came to the earth, from generation to generation.

      越来越多的人来到这个世界，并且世代相传。

    Watching people on land live their happy lives, laughing, singing and dancing, is a great satisfaction to Nüwa.

      看着陆地上的人们过着幸福的生活——欢笑、歌唱、跳舞——对于女娲来说，就是极大的满足。
