A long time ago, before the world was as we know it today, the Sun and the Moon were the best of friends. They danced together across the sky, sharing their light with the world below. Wherever the Sun shone, warmth and brightness followed. When the Moon glowed, everything turned cool and peaceful.

For many years, they were happy. But one day, something changed.



A Great Disagreement

The Sun, with its golden fire, loved to shine brightly all the time. It wanted the world to always be warm and full of light. But the Moon, soft and silver, believed that there should be moments of rest, where everything could be quiet and still.

– “We should let the world have time to sleep” the Moon said gently.

– “But the world is more beautiful when it is bright!” the Sun replied.

Back and forth they argued, until finally, their friendship turned into a great disagreement. In their sadness, they drifted apart, moving far away from each other in the sky.


A New Balance

Though they were apart, something magical happened. The world now had both day and night. When the Sun rose in the morning, it filled the land with golden light, waking the animals and people, giving them time to play, work, and explore.

Then, when the Sun grew tired, it slipped below the horizon, making way for the Moon. The world turned peaceful as the Moon’s soft glow comforted the land, guiding everyone into gentle dreams.

Though they no longer danced together, the Sun and the Moon still watched over the world, each taking turns to care for it. Sometimes, during rare moments, they meet again in the sky—when the Moon passes in front of the Sun, creating an eclipse. In those short moments, it is as if they are remembering their old friendship.
