Why
the Sun Comes Up at Day BY: NATALIE H. |
|
Once, a million years ago, there were two gods. The sun god and the moon god. The sun god looked like a yellowish red cape with a sun- like head that was fire hot bolting light. The sun god had no body, just a big black puffy cloud under his yellowish red cape to make him look big. The moon god looked like a grayish black cape with a moon- like head that was gray and round like a full moon. The moon god had a body but no skin. He was a skeleton, but not a scary skeleton he was a nice and friendly one. The two gods were battling about whether the sun god wanted the sun to be out both day and night. The moon god thought the sun was too bright. The moon god wanted the moon to be out both night and day. The sun god thought world was too dark when the moon was out. The gods kept on fighting. Then the sun god mentioned, "How about we play a game and the winner gets what he wants?" The moon god agreed and said, "I agree. How about we play a game of stick ball?" Stick ball is a game sort of like basketball, baseball and football combined. This is how you play: First you get a stick. Then you start in the middle of the field and try to go over the line to run over to get a point at the end of the end of the field without the other person taking the stick. Then the earth god floated along. The earth god had an earth- like head that was blue and green and very round. He had a blue and green cape and has a ghost body. Then the sun god asked, "We're going to play a game of stick ball. The winner gets to make the decision about when the sun comes up and the moon goes down or when the moon comes up and the sun goes down. Do you want to be the referee?" The earth god said, "Yes." The two gods tied in the contest. Then the earth god mentioned, "Since you tied in the game, how about having the sun come up in the morning and the moon comes up at night.come up in the morning and the moon come out at night." So that why the sun comes up in the day and the moon comes up at night. |
