1. THE STORY OF NIAN SHADOW WONG 5C (24)

2. ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A VILLAGE. THE VILLAGE WAS VERY QUIET. IN A CAVE, THERE WAS A MONSTER CALLED NIAN.

3. EVERY YEAR, MONSTER NIAN WOULD GO TO THE VILLAGE AND EAT PLANTS AND ANIMALS, BECAUSE IT FELT HUNGRY.

4. ONE NIGHT, THE MONSTER NIAN DAMAGED THE VILLAGE AGAIN. THE VILLAGERS WERE FRIGHTENED, SO THEY RAN AWAY FROM THEIR HOUSE. ALL OF THEM WERE SCARED AND SHOUTED LOUDLY.

5. THE NEXT YEAR, THE VILLAGERS POSTED THE RED PAPER IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSES. WHEN THE MONSTER NIAN SAW THE RED PAPER, IT WAS SCARED AWAY.

6. BESIDES USING THE RED PAPER, THE VILLAGERS ALSO LIT FIRECRACKERS AND BEAT THE DRUMS TO SCARE THE MONSTER NIAN AWAY.

7. NIAN WAS VERY SCARED, SO NIAN RAN AWAY. FINALLY, NIAN NEVER RETURNED TO THE VILLAGE ANYMORE.

8. AFTER THAT, AT CHINESE NEW YEAR, PEOPLE PUT RED PAPER ON DOORS AND WALLS.

9. CHILDREN GET RED PACKETS. PEOPLE WATCH LION DANCES AND FIREWORKS.

10. THE END
