sheep,

pigs,

dogsand

chickens,

and

hurt

many

people.Shennong,

the

ancient

one,

decided

to

punish"Nian"and

lockhim

in

the

mountains.

was

only

allowed

to

come

didn'tknow,so

they

were

always

afraid.One

day

passed,and"Nian"did

not

come.A

month

passed,

and"Nian"didnot

come.Oh,
