This is a Yi folk story that can be told to children over five years old.
A long time ago, there was a young man named Puaza at the foot of Mount Thoreau. He plays the flute well. As long as the flute rings, it can attract all kinds of birds in the forest. Everyone calls him the magic flute. In addition, he is also famous for riding and archery.
As time went by, when his father saw that he had grown up, he advised him, "Son, get married early. I'll find someone to tell you which girl you want. " Puaza casually replied, "Dad, don't worry about me. I'll find it myself." Having said that, I can't see that he is looking for it. There are many girls who look like camellia in the cottage. They all stared at him with their eyes to show their love for him, but he ignored them. His parents are very uneasy about his marriage.

The hunter picked up the injured Bai Niao and ran north. Over a mountain, I saw a small house in the mountain. An old man came out of the hut, and the hunter begged him, "Po, save this Bai Niao, it was pecked by an evil eagle." The old man looked at him and smiled. "Young hunter, don't worry, I have an idea." The old man immediately scooped up a bowl of clear spring water, washed away Bai Niao's blood stains, took out a gourd from the hut, and bandaged Bai Niao's wound with the fairy medicine in the gourd. Bai Niao trembled? I lost my wings, immediately opened my eyes, stood up and became a beautiful girl.

After the egret girl was caught by the evil eagle, she was tied to a big stone pillar. The evil eagle is complacent and is preparing to have a delicious meal. The egret girl's eyes were swollen with tears, and her clothes were soaked with tears. I'll never see my husband again, and he doesn't know I'm going to die here, she thought in despair. Just then, there was a loud noise at the mouth of the cave, which was shot to pieces by the hunter. Then the hunter broke in and fought the evil eagle. The dog brought by the hunter suddenly jumped on and bit the wings of the evil eagle. The hunter shot an arrow in the chest of the evil eagle and killed it.
The egret girl was saved. She and the hunter live happily under the beautiful Thoreau Mountain.
