Legend of the origin of Sagittarius

In a faraway place, there lived a race of half man and half horse, called Sagittarius. Sagittarius is fierce by nature and is very good at archery. They live collectively on the grassland and often fight with human beings.

But there is a Sagittarius named Ka Rong, who is very gentle and has cultivated many great heroes, such as Hercules, Achilles and Gemini's two brothers, so people and gods respect him very much.

One day, Hercules, the great hero, fought with a group of horses, but the horses were no match for Hercules at all, and they retreated while fighting. Hercules pursued relentlessly. This time, people retreated to the caves in Ka Rong.

Ka Rong heard the noise and went out of the cave to look for it, but at this time, a poisonous arrow shot at Ka Rong, hitting it right in the knee. Ka Rong let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground.

Hercules stepped forward. Oh, my God, it was his teacher Ka Rong who was shot. He immediately threw away his bow and arrow, ran forward to pick up Ka Rong, pulled out his bow and arrow, applied herbs to him, and kept shouting, "Sorry, teacher, I can't see clearly. How are you now? " .

However, the poison has completely spread to Ka Rong's body, and soon he died quietly. Zeus was very sad when he learned of Ka Rong's death, so he had to lift it to the sky and become Sagittarius.
