很久以前，在昆仑山上住着一位神仙，他身边侍奉着两个童男童女，一个叫金童，一个叫玉女。金童玉女长得非常漂亮，而且心地善良，他们每天都会为神仙采摘灵芝仙草，侍奉神仙饮食起居。神仙很喜爱他们，常常带着他们游历名山大川。一天，神仙带着金童玉女来到人间，想看看人间的景象。他们来到一个村庄，看到孩子们在田间玩耍，金童玉女也加入了他们的游戏，孩子们都非常开心。玩累了，他们便坐在树荫下休息，金童玉女给孩子们讲故事，讲述他们神仙世界的奇闻异事，孩子们听得津津有味。直到夕阳西下，神仙才带着金童玉女回到昆仑山上。金童玉女对这次人间之旅留下了深刻的印象，他们更加珍惜人间的美好，也更加热爱自己的工作。从此以后，他们更加努力地侍奉神仙，为人间带来更多的美好。
Long ago, there lived a god on Mount Kunlun who was served by two young attendants, one named Jin Tong and the other Yu Nu. Jin Tong and Yu Nu were very beautiful and kindhearted. Every day, they would gather Ganoderma lucidum and other magical herbs for the god and take care of his daily needs. The god loved them dearly and often took them on journeys to famous mountains and rivers. One day, the god took Jin Tong and Yu Nu to the human world to see what it was like. They came to a village and saw children playing in the fields. Jin Tong and Yu Nu joined their games, and the children were very happy. When they were tired, they rested in the shade of trees. Jin Tong and Yu Nu told the children stories about strange events in their god's world, and the children listened with great interest. It was only when the sun began to set that the god brought Jin Tong and Yu Nu back to Mount Kunlun. Jin Tong and Yu Nu were deeply impressed by this trip to the human world. They cherished the beauty of the human world even more and loved their work even more. From then on, they served the god even harder, bringing more good things to the human world.
