The Legend of The Sun & The Moon
The
Sun and the Moon used to be married and shared the sky. One day the Moon had to
gather vegetables in the forest and asked the Sun to watch over their children.
She warned him not to get too near the sleeping kids because they might get
burned.
He
watches the kids from a distance but, because he wanted to kiss them, forgot
his wife's warning. He bends over near his children and, horrified, sees them
melt. He hides in the forest. His wife, the Moon, returns to find her children
all melted. After some time, the Sun shows himself to the Moon. They fight: He
throws the vegetables to her face and she leaves him.
On
a clear night, when the Moon is full, you will see traces of vegetable leaves
on her face. Their children have turned into stars, while the Sun keeps chasing
after the Moon in an attempt to reconcile.
