Town Myths of Taiwan

Once upon a time , there was a city by the name of Taichong. This city got it's name in a very unusual way by a very special person. There was once a boy by the name of Little Chong. He came from a very small family, only he and his mom. His father died unfortunately because of overwork. So Little Chong had to support his mom. He had to start working from a young to help earn money. Little Chong and his mom used to work in the fields the whole day, from early morning to late at night. Little Chong vowed to get revenge for his father. After a few years, now Little Chong has become an adult.
He decided to make a plan how to seek revenge for his father. He worked really hard on this. He got many people to join him to seek revenge. He got his friends and his mom all to support him. And then one night everyone got together and they went to their boss' house at night and they protested about overwork how they have to work from early morning to late at night. They protested about how that was not fair at all. There were so many people, and they boss was so frightened he had no choice but to surrender and give the people what they asked for. Little Chong was the leader since he arranged it.Everyone was so proud of Little Chong that they ultimately named the city after him. Tai- for Taiwan and Chong for Little Chong. So this is the story of how Taichong got it's name.

Myth skits

At first we saw a skit where there was a big bear and a person from a village. It was really funny. The way that the bear got killed was by an arrow. There was a fight scene between the bear and the villager too. The way that they presented the skit was very funny. And and the end the person who killed the bear became the chief of the village.
Then the second skit was our skit. It was really fun to present it. Everyone was laughing a lot. Angel and I played the role of the villagers who were planning to kill the bear and then eat it for a ceremony.Sian and Eddie played the role of hunters who killed the bear. And Anderson played the role of a girl bear. It was funny because some of us didn't completely remember the lines and we needed to use the iPad. Then one of the hunters killed the bear and the bear dies. Then the other hunter got married to the bear who got turned into a human. It was a very funny story.
Then the last story was about a bird who is the chosen one to defeat another bird or something like that. Then that bird is isolated and goes through a lot of training and finally defeats the bad bird. This story was ok but I didn't really like it that much. I liked the first and second story more than the third story.
