By Chinese legend, the Earth had six suns. The Yellow Emperor decreed that archers could shoot down five suns. The sixth sun hid and caused darkness, as the best archer in all of China shot down the five suns, using a special trick. Animals were called to bring out the sun, but the sixth sun did not respond. Finallly, the rooster called the sun out to shine and restore the day light. The rooster was rewarded a crown for his lovely song.
