Myths and Fairy Tales: 神话, 童话

A Chinese children's magazine is collecting legends and fairy tales from around the world. Retell a myth, legend or fairy tale from your country (150–280 characters) in simple Chinese.

  • Open the story with 从前
  • 于是 to move the story on and 结果 for how it turned out
  • 神话, 传说 or 童话 for the type of story
  • 神秘 for a mysterious place or person

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
