当水神与火神的交战导致天空塌陷、大地裂开时，女娲为人类的苦难感到悲痛。女娲挺身而出，领导人们结束这场灾难。她先用自己的身体，后又加用五彩石来填补天空的裂缝。

Nuwa grieved the suffering humans endured when the sky fell and earth cracked as the god of water fought the god of fire. Nuwa took up her leadership to end the catastrophe by patching the whole in the sky, first with her body and then with five colored stones.
