古代神话《精卫填海》中说，炎帝的小女儿女娃游东海溺死后，为了报仇，便化做精卫鸟，“常衔西山之山石，以堙于东海”。后来，一只海燕飞过东海时无意间看见了精卫，他为她的行为感到困惑不解，但了解了事情的起因之后，海燕为精卫大无畏的精神所打动，就与其结成了夫妻，生出许多小鸟，雌的像精卫，雄的像海燕。小精卫和她们的妈妈一样，也去衔石填海。直到今天，她们还在做着这种工作。
Long long time ago, there lived a little princess named Niu Wa (女娃) who was the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, the legendary ruler in ancient Chinese mythology。
精卫填海讲的是中国古代神话中炎帝宠爱的小女儿女儿的故事。
The littel princess loved watching the sunrise, admiring the spectacle of nature. She once asked her father where the sun rises. Her father said it was in the Eastern Sea and promised to take her there to see sunrise on a boat, but he had been too busy to do that。
女娃很喜欢看日出，喜欢大自然。她很想让父亲带她出去，到东海——太阳升起的地方去看一看。可是因为父亲忙于公事：太阳升起时来到东海，直到太阳落下；日日如此，总是不能带她去
One day, the little princess got a boat behind her father's back, sailing to the Eastern Sea. When she was away from the shore, unfortunately, a strong wind rose and overthrew her boat. She was buried by the surging waves, being drowned quickly。
