Long ago, the Earth was covered in darkness . None of the creatures living there knew what daylight ( 白昼)looked like.
One day,all of the animals of the forest met in a large open place. They wonder if it would be better to live in darkness, or if it would be better to have light. The biggest and strongest animal in the forest was the bear, and he argued for living in darkness. He said that the animals of the forest would be able to sleep better in darkness because there would be no light to keep them awake.
Most of the other animals were afraid, and they agreed with Bear.
But one animal stood up to Bear. Chipmunk(花栗鼠), the smallest of the animals, argued that it would be better to have both light and darkness. Chipmunk was very clever. As Bear went on to argue for darkness, she made many good arguments for light.
Slowly, the night passed. Bear grew tired of talking, but Chipmunk talked on and on, as if she had all of the energy in the world. As the other animals dropped off to sleep, one by one, Chipmunk kept arguing. Finally, the first sunrise ever seen by the animals came. They woke up and were amazed by what they say.
Chipmunk began to dance from rock to rock. Bear became angry because he didn’t get his way. He shouted loudly and ran after Chipmunk. He ran after Chipmunk all the way down the mountain. Bear was fast, and he reached out his giant paw to catch Chipmunk. Chipmunk got away, but not before Bear scratched her back with his long paws. And that is why, to this day, you can see the stripes on Chipmunk’s back.
