有一天，老牛告訴他，天上織女要和她的姐妹到銀河洗澡，叫他去“偷取”織女的羽衣，這樣沒(méi)有了羽衣，織女就不能飛回天上了，就會(huì)做他的妻子。
到了那一天，美麗的仙女們果然到銀河沐浴，并在水中嬉戲。這時(shí)藏在蘆葦中的牛郎突然跑出來(lái)拿走了織女的衣裳。驚惶失措的仙女們急忙上岸穿好衣裳飛走了，唯獨(dú)剩下織女。

天神趁牛郎不在家的時(shí)候，抓走了織女。

就在牛郎要追上織女的關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻，王母娘娘拔下頭簪，在織女身后一劃，那劃痕就成了波濤洶涌的天河。牛郎再也過(guò)不去了。
從此兩人只能隔河相望，日夜泣啼�，F(xiàn)在牛郎星旁的兩顆小星，稱(chēng)扁擔(dān)星，人們說(shuō)那是牛郎織女的一對(duì)兒女。最后，牛郎織女的真情感動(dòng)了天上的喜鵲，它們每到七月七日就拔下自己美麗的羽毛，架成一道彩虹橋，讓這對(duì)相思一年的夫婦在這一夜相會(huì)。
此外，七夕夜深人靜之時(shí)，人們還能在葡萄架或其他的瓜果架下聽(tīng)到牛郎織女在天上的脈脈情話(huà)。
關(guān)于七夕的故事(英文版)-情牽七夕
Chinese Valentines Day --- Qixi
On the evening of the seventh day of the seventh month in the Chinese lunar calendar, don’t forget to look carefully at the summer sky. In the Western calendar, that falls on August 26 this year. You’ll find the Cowherd (a bright star in the constellation Aquila, west of the Milky Way) and the Weaving Maid (the star Vega, east of the Milky Way) appear closer together than at any other time of the year.
The Chinese believe the stars are lovers who are permitted to meet by the Queen of Heaven once a year. That day is also called the “double seventh” (Qixi in Chinese), and it is the only Chinese festival devoted to love in the lunar calendar. In modern times, it has been called China’s own Valentine’s Day.
The legend holds that an orphaned cowherd was mistreated by his elder brother and sister-in-law, who eventually gave him an old ox and chased him out. The cowherd worked hard, and after only a couple of years he owned a small farm and house. But he was lonely, with only the company of his faithful old ox.
One day the ox suddenly opened its mouth and talked, telling the cowherd that the heavenly Weaving Maid and her sisters were going to bathe in river. The Weaving Maid was said to be the youngest of the seven daughters of the Queen of Heaven. With her sisters, she worked hard to weave beautiful clouds in the sky.
The ox told the cowherd that he should go there to rob the Weaving Maid of her clothes while she was in the water. In exchange for the return of her clothes, she would become his wife. Surprised, the cowherd willingly followed the ox’s instructions and hid himself in the reeds at the riverbank, waiting for the girls to bathe.
The girls came, and as they were splashing about, the cowherd rushed out of the reeds and grabbed the Weaving Maid’s clothing. In panic, the sisters dashed to their clothes, hurriedly put them on, and ran away.
The Weaving Maid, deprived of her clothes, stood on the riverbank and tried to cover herself with her hair. The cowherd told her that he would not return her clothes unless she promised to be his wife. After a little hesitation, she agreed to his request and they married.
The cowherd and the Weaving Maid lived happily together and had two children before the Queen of Heaven discovered the Weaving Maid’s absence. She was so annoyed that she had the Weaving Maid brought back to heaven.
Seeing his beloved wife flying back to the sky, the cowherd was terrified and sad. He caught sight of the cowhide hanging on a wall. The magical ox had told him before dying of old age, “Keep the cowhide for emergency use.”
Putting the cowhide on, the cowherd, with his two children, went after his wife. With the help of the cowhide, the cowherd was able to follow the Weaving Maid into heaven. He was about to reach his wife when the Queen showed up and pulled off her hairpin to draw a line between the two. The line became the Silver River in heaven, or the Milky Way.
The Weaving Maid went back to the heavenly workshop, going on weaving the clouds. But she was so sad and missed her husband across the Silver River so much that the clouds she weaved seemed sad. Finally, the Queen showed some mercy and allowed the couple to meet once every year on the Silver River on the double seventh.
Magpies were moved by their true love and many of them gathered to form a bridge over the Silver River for the couple to meet on the evening of Qixi.
It’s said that it’s hard to find a magpie at that time in China, because all magpies fly to make the bridge for the Weaving Maid and the cowherd. And if it rains heavily on Qixi night, some elderly Chinese will say it is because the Weaving Maid is crying from happiness over meeting her husband on the Milky Way.
