Long ago in China, there was a famous poet named Li Bai. He loved nature and often walked in the mountains. One evening, he was sitting by a river when he saw the shadow of a bird on the water. The shadow moved like a real bird. This gave him an idea. He cut a piece of paper into the shape of a bird and held it against a candle. The shadow on the wall looked just like a flying bird. He called his friends to watch. Everyone was amazed.
Later, Li Bai used this idea to tell stories. He made more paper figures and moved them behind a white cloth. With a lamp behind him, the shadows danced and acted out poems and tales.
