Kuafu overreached himself, trying to catch the shadow of the sun. He caught it in Yugu Valley, drank the river but failed. He went to osawa and died before he arrived.

Kuafu drove away from the sun and into the daytime. He was thirsty and wanted to drink water, so he drank the water from the river, which was not enough. He drank the water from osawa in the north and died of thirst before he arrived. Abandoned his staff and became Deng Lin. (Excerpted from Shan Hai Jing)
