Written by Changming Yuan
During the great flood, Noah hid himself in the ark
While Dayu tried to contain it with his bare hands
Prometheus stole fire from Olympian gods
While Sui Ren got it by drilling wood hard
Smart Daedalus crafted wings to fly away from his prison-tower
While Old Fool removed the whole mountain blocking his way
Helios enjoyed driving his chariot all along in the sky
While Kuafu chased the sun to take it down & tame it
Sisyphus rolls the boulder uphill because of his deceitfulness, while
Wu Gang cuts the laurel as a punishment for distractions in learning
