原文：

天地开辟以后，天上有了太阳、月亮和星星，地上有了山川草木，甚至有了鸟兽虫鱼，可单单没有人类。这世间总觉缺少了些生气。

有一天，女娲行走在这片荒凉的大地上，看着周围的景象，心中充满了感慨。她觉得这世界虽然美丽，却少了生命的活力。于是，女娲决定创造一种新的生命——人类。

女娲来到一条河边，用黄土捏出了一个泥人。她把泥人放到地上，那泥人竟然活了过来，开口叫她“妈妈”。女娲很高兴，便继续用这种方法制造了许多人。后来，为了加快速度，女娲用藤条蘸满泥浆，向四处挥洒，结果每一滴泥浆都变成了一个小人儿。

After the heaven and earth were first created, there were suns, moons, stars in the sky, mountains, rivers, plants and trees on the ground, even birds, beasts, insects and fish, but there was no human being. The world seemed to lack vitality.

One day, Nüwa walked on this desolate land, looking at the surroundings, filled with emotion. She thought that although the world was beautiful, it lacked the vitality of life. So, Nüwa decided to create a new kind of life - human beings.

Nüwa came to a riverbank, molded a clay figure. When she put it on the ground, the clay figure suddenly came to life and called her "Mom". Nüwa was very happy and continued to create many people in this way. Later, in order to speed up the process, Nüwa dipped a vine into the mud and splashed it around. Each drop of mud turned into a little person.
