Ever wondered why the sun and the moon live up in the sky and never come down?
Well, it all started with a flooded house and a very angry ocean. Long ago, the sun and the moon were best friends with water. They often visited each other. And one day, Sun said, "Dear friend, Water, why don't you visit my home?" Water replied, "I'd love to, but my people take up a lot of space. If you invite me, you must build a big enough house for all of us."
So, Sun went home and built the biggest house ever. When water arrived, he began to pour in. Fish, frogs, and waves came rushing through the door. Soon, the house was overflowing. Sun and moon had nowhere to stand, so they climbed onto the roof. But water kept rising higher and higher until they had no choice but to float up into the sky.
And from that day on, the sun and the moon decided to stay up there, where water could never flood them again. Want more timeless tales like this? Subscribe to the story hearth, where old stories come.
