The harm is gone, and the wind and sand are at a loss.

During the days of flood control, he passed through the house three times without entering, and he worked hard for the public good.
The flood was finally controlled, and the people of the world returned to a peaceful life where men farmed and women weaved. Although the water damage was eliminated, the disaster of wind and sand remained. In ancient times, there was a crazy man. With his hair disheveled, he rushed out early in the morning to cross the river on foot. Others just watched the excitement, and only his wife went to stop him, shouting from behind to ask him not to cross the river, but he insisted on jumping into the river.
Although the tiger can be restrained, the river cannot be crossed. As expected, the madman was drowned in the water, and his body drifted with the current to the sea. Swallowed by the long whale with white teeth like mountains. His wife played the harp and sang a sad song, but it was a pity that her husband would never come back.
